AskHello doctor!
I had laparoscopic appendectomy for 12 days. From day 8 onwards, every time I take a deep breath, I have pain in my left abdomen near my navel. I had an abdominal ultrasound but nothing happened, there was no fluid in the abdomen. What is the cause of right abdominal pain after laparoscopic appendectomy? I hope the doctor can help me. I would like to thank you.

Hello!
In case of right abdominal pain after laparoscopic appendectomy, the doctor would like to advise as follows:
Because during the surgery, the doctor put a 10mm troca instrument through the abdominal muscle, so it may cause pain afterwards. especially when walking and taking a deep breath, this pain will subside and will go away in about 2 weeks. Good health!
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System, looking forward to seeing you for a one-on-one consultation. Best regards!
