Wound open after gyno

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your recovery issues.  Your surgeon is allowing your wound to heal from the inside-out.  A process we call secondary intention healing.  If the separation is small this will likely heal with a good cosmetic outcome and over the course of several weeks.  Voice your concerns to your surgeon, they are your best source of reassurance.

Assuming that the separation is narrow (which is sounds as if it is), all should be fine. However, if the area becomes red or hot to the touch, contact your surgeon immediately. Best of luck --

Hello. It is difficult to comment on the wound without a photograph or examining the wound. I would advise you see your surgeon.

Your surgeon is allowing your wound to heal from the inside- out.  If the final result leaves you with a scar you are unhappy with, scar revision can be easily done in an office setting.  Follow up with your surgeon for scar management after you are healed.

this minor degree of separation should heal with no problems with just good local wound care. Try not to worry and forget about it. In 6-12 months time, if not much sooner, the slightly wider scar will narrow and the two sides will look the same.david berman md
