my wife had laparoscopic cholecystectomy just over a week ago.  She is feeling fine, other than tenderness around surgery entry sites.  However, the umbilical site has a firm spot directly below the cut.  There is no redness, swelling or fever just the hard area under the cut.  When she pushes on it it does not move, just a hard spot.  She has a follow up with her surgeon in a few days, what could this firm spot be?
Hi.if the surgery was unremarkable and there are no post-operative complications, then it is not worrisome. The firm spot directly below the cut you are feeling is most probably a fibrosis underneath. Its like scarring, only on the inside. This happens during wound healing. Have a follow-up with your surgeon as well. Hope this helps. Good day!~ Chat Doctor.
