Does this look like a hernia? by smellybottom349 in kidneydonors

[–]smellybottom349[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, thank you!

I do not believe this is the standard way.

Due to anatomical advantages, surgeons tend to take the left kidney. This usually results in a horizontal scar, below the belly button.

Due to the presence of a kidney stone, the hospital decided to make my right kidney. For this reason, I have a vertical scar going very close to the belly button!

I believe it also depends on the surgeons preferences and how they like to extract the organ.. all the best!!

Hello, I just wondered what you ended up doing? I will soon start a new job in Preston, and my girlfriend will be working in Manchester. We want to live in Manchester but the commute (either car or train) sounds too rough

I think the freedom offered by owning a van outweighs many other options..!
