I have the Mercedes scar with a central vertical scar from under my breasts to below my belly button from my spleen surgery. They reused the upper part of the spleen scar during my transplant surgery. In fact, the transplant team called my husband from the operating room asking him what the scar was! Mind you, my spleen ruptured in January, 7 months previous to my transplant, and after I was stabilized, I was transferred to my transplant center!
I joke that my husband can play with model railroads along my track...
