Ask
Yes, the doctor asked me: The patient has only had an appendectomy for 1 day and has not eaten or drank anything. The nurse misjudged the date of removal of the tube on the 2nd day (1 day earlier than the calendar). The fluid bag has only a very small amount, which is insignificant. Is early drainage after appendectomy dangerous? So, are there any complications after appendectomy for internal or later injuries?

Hello,
Whether you have any problems or not depends much on your pathological damage and how you handle it during surgery. Even draining on the right day does not completely eliminate the risk of complications after appendectomy such as postoperative intestinal obstruction, residual abscess later. Ideally, you should go back for an abdominal ultrasound about 1 week after surgery. After surgery, you should sit up and exercise your abdominal muscles.
