lauragshsu 6 Posted November 18, 2010 Wow - what happens that you need a replacement ? I had a single incision surgery through my bellybutton, and it never closed. After seven months, the surgeon decided to do a "wound exploration surgery ", and found that there was an infection in the port area (which was only about an inch above the incision). He removed the port to let me heal. I'm currently waiting on insurance approval to have port replacement surgery (hoping for next week). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
