After the day-long queue to see the senile urologist, to write the
nurse's instructions to remove the 15-clips/stitches and 'upper'
catheta, I don't want to go back to query this:

from the 25 m. prostatectomy scar, I've got a 'division' on my belly;
where the scar created a solid line, 2 cm. indented from the surounding
flabby area.   It's almost as if the scar was connected to a solid internal
'wall'  --  as if the surgery-cut, from the skin down through the layers
has all solidified.

Is this normal ?
Will it go away ?
Is it related to the phrase 'fibrous scar tissue' ?

==TIA.

My uneducated guess is that there was a little fat cut away near he
incision. When stitched up, the area doesn't resemble the rest of your
belly. I wouldn't hazard a guess about long term appearance, though. And, I
guess you mean 25 cm scar, right?  Just having a laugh at the 25m scar ;-)
