Question
Dear doctor! I had laparoscopic appendectomy 25 days ago, there were 4 incisions, 1 in the left iliac fossa and 1 in the navel with sutures. 2 wounds in the iliac fossa required fluid, 2 with sutures were cut after 1 week. Now the incisions have healed, but 2 days ago at the laparoscopic appendix at the navel pain and pink and light discharge, a small blister with blisters was seen. What's wrong with my doctor? Now I only have pain in the navel when pressing hard and other than that, the other incisions are painless. Normal health does not have heat, fever. I wash and disinfect every day. Thank you.

Answer
Hello! The incision at the navel may be mildly infected. You should come back to the clinic to check and promptly handle the condition of the laparoscopic appendix incision in the navel pain and fluid.
You can check at medical facilities near your home or a hospital under Vinmec Health System to be examined by a doctor for appropriate indications.
