Hello doctor! I had laparoscopic appendectomy 3 weeks ago. On the outside of the wound has completely healed, but on the inside, the wound is painful (I have a 12kg baby). Please ask the doctor, 3 weeks laparoscopic appendectomy, but the external wound heals but the inside still hurts, is it okay? Doctor's advice, thank you!

Answer
Hello, the doctor would like to answer the question: “3 weeks after laparoscopic appendectomy, but the external wound heals but the inside still hurts, is it okay? ” as follows:
Because during the appendectomy, the doctor places a 10mm troca instrument through the abdominal muscle fascia, so it can cause pain afterwards, especially when walking and taking a deep breath. You can go to the nearest medical facility or the Hospital of Vinmec Health System for a more thorough examination and consultation by doctors. Best regards!
