Adducter Roll Removal

Hi All,
I hope over all the terminology discussion you all find time to help on a
question a client of mine has. He is 45 Y.O. and has been wearing an AK
prosthesis for 14 years. He has a significant Adducter roll that can not be
reduced by socket fit or anything now. It either stays or needs to be
surgically removed. He is always getting Festered Up as he puts it and is
constantly in pain. I recommended he have it removed but he is afraid the
scar will be in the socket and cause him to not be able to wear a leg again.
He is not wearing a full suction anymore so I feel it would be okay. It goes
from the groin anteriorly for about 10 and is 3 thick!
Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences that you could share so
he can make a sound decision?
Thank you in advance.
