Question
Hello doctor,
I have just had laparoscopic appendectomy for about 5 days but I feel that my abdomen is a bit hard and seems to be bigger than usual. So the doctor asked me if my stomach is hard and big after laparoscopic appendectomy for 5 days? Thank you doctor.

Answered by Master, Doctor Nguyen Hung Cuong - Department of General Surgery, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is the abdomen hard and big after laparoscopic appendectomy for 5 days? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
After appendectomy, the inflammation may not be completely gone, accompanied by unstable intestinal circulation. You should check with the doctor who performed your surgery to assess your post-operative condition. Ultrasound helps to detect postoperative abnormalities in the abdomen.
If you still have questions about a large hard abdomen after 5 days of laparoscopic appendectomy, 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!
