Nerve damage after minor surgery?
I recently had an operation on an umbillical hernia. The operation went
well and I went home the same day. (Insurance no longer pays for hospital
stays). As a result, I got a massive peptic streppococa infection in the
area.
Now I noticed that there is almost no sensation whatsoever in a small
area above my navel, just under the center of the 3-inch insicion.
Is this a normal thing, or could some permanent damage have result from
the surgery?
