Brief Answer:
hernia could be there

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to HCM .

I have read your query and understand your concern. As you have already had wound site infection so chances of incision site hernia are more.

But it needs a physical examination for confirmation. I would suggest you to consult a general surgeon or get ultrasound of abdomen for confirmation.

Other possibility is stricture forming at point where part of stomach was removed. Whenever you cough there may be entrapment of air and inflating. For confirmation of this a contrast x-ray or endoscopy is needed.

So in my opinion get ultrasound first and show to a surgeon. As further management depends on the report and his evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
