Question
Hello doctor,
I have had appendectomy for 8 years (it's a balloon operation) but sometimes I still have cramping pain near the incision. So the doctor asked me if there is a sharp pain near the appendix incision, is it okay? Thank you doctor.

Answered by Master, Doctor Duong Xuan Loc - Department of General Surgery, Vinmec Danang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have a sharp pain near the appendix incision? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Open surgery in general and open appendectomy have a very clear risk that postoperative intestinal adhesions cause complete incomplete bowel obstruction. Pain near the incision may be due to intestinal adhesions to the incision but not causing intestinal obstruction causing simple cramping pain without other symptoms. In case of abdominal pain, vomiting and bowel obstruction, you need to see a doctor immediately because there is an intestinal obstruction.
If you still have questions about the occurrence of cramping pain near the appendix incision, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
