Can the doctor see a pseudobursa during scar revision?

March 29, 2018
Asked By:Corik in Fresno, CA

2 years post tt with mr. I did not have any obvious seroma issues after surgery but DID have significant swelling for well over a year. I have begun to suspect that I might have a pseudobursa in the whole region from belly button to scar. I've had tightness and discomfort there that has never improved since surgery and it feels rather hard and thick there. When my doc goes in to revise my scar, will he be able to tell if there is a pseudobursa there or is there more surgery involved to check for that?
