Swelling near the incision site following a cholecystectomy could be due to a few possible reasons:
Scar Tissue or Keloid Formation: Over time, scars can become thick or raised. This may cause some swelling or discomfort at the site of the incision.
Hernia: After surgery, a small part of the abdominal wall may weaken, causing a hernia at the incision site. This can lead to swelling and occasional aching.
Infection or Fluid Build-up: If the area is tender or swollen and feels warm to the touch, there could be an infection or fluid accumulation (seroma or hematoma).
Post-surgical Changes: Some residual pain or swelling might occur after surgery, but if it's persistent or worsening, it should be examined.
Since you've observed swelling and ache, itâs important to consult with a healthcare provider for a physical examination and possibly an ultrasound to determine the cause. Please feel free to share photos if you'd like a more specific assessment.

Even though it's been two years since the surgery, after exploring the cause, we can treat it by Homoeopathy. Incisional Hernia, Scar Tissue formation, Infection etc can be reasons for your condition.
After proper diagnosis the treatment plan is tailored.
Next Steps
Consulting with a physician in-person or online for a proper diagnosis first.

The symptoms you are experiencing, including swelling and ache near the stitches, may be indicative of PCS (Post-Cholecystectomy Syndrome), a common side effect of gallbladder removal.
The possible causes of these symptoms include:
- Residual gallstones
- Scar adhesion irritation
- Duct obstruction
- Bile leakage in nearby areas
- Digestive issues
- Stress
Next Steps
Go for Ultrasound or ERCP to determine the underlying cause of your condition. After the test results, I suggest consulting with a physician in-person or online through Practo for an individualized treatment plan.
Health Tips
- Avoid foods that trigger your condition.
- Refrain from consuming fatty, greasy, or spicy meals.
- Engage in regular physical activity and exercise.
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further guidance or support.
