It is rather childish, and 'wound' is for weapons. They cut into my stomach, removed something from it, and stitched up the incision.

Thank you, Mister Micawber, for giving me such a constructive criticism. If only I had a brilliant mind like yours... I love you, Dad... (No, please don't get me wrong. I just call you 'Dad,' for you've been like a father to me – one who corrects me when I've made mistakes. I hope you understand me.)

Mister Micawber, would it seem childish, too, if I use the term abdomen or belly for stomach?

'Abdomen' is quite scientific/medical, and that is the word that the doctor might use.
'Belly' is a word used casually by adult laymen.
