What is that sickly discharge at incision nouns after appendectomy?


I had my widen appendectomy last week. The surgeon told me that the appendix have ruptured so he had to bring in an EXPLORE LAP (incision from inch down the navel to groin area almost 5 inches).
While recovering there are yellowish discharge similar to pus coming from one of the stitches. The intern cut two stitches to squeeze these fluids out of my belly.
This happen twice. Everytime I remove my abdominal binder, yellow fluids soak my determine.


Answers:    It is pus. Make sure you are taking your antibiotics and take them until you enjoy no more.
Your discharge information should have told you that it can be ordinary to have a small amount of clear washed out or red-yellow fluid draining from an abdominal incision in the first afternoon or so after surgery. But a week?? And considering you did have a rupture you should own that looked at by the doctor ASAP.
this does not sound perfect.. is this a clear yellowish fluid or thick pus. any way you should enjoy it looked at. a ruptured appendix can cause a serious infection. please enjoy it looked at. Terri B, rn
