Answer
Hello,
To the question “What should I do when the incision is bleeding after appendicectomy 4 days? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
All types of surgery have certain levels of risk. One of the most common complications after an appendectomy is infection of the appendix incision. This complication occurs in about 1.9% of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery and 4.3% of patients having open surgery to remove the appendix.
Although complications after appendectomy are rare, if you are concerned about the symptoms of these complications contact your doctor or healthcare provider immediately.
If you still have questions about the incision with watery discharge after 4 days of appendicectomy, 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!
