Since the surgery was 2 months ago and there is still intermittent pus discharge with incomplete wound closure, this should not be considered normal healing. The picture appears to show a small area of persistent wound inflammation/discharge. Possible causes include a localized wound infection, stitch/foreign-body reaction, or a small sinus tract at the port site. The fact that a retained stitch/pin was already removed makes a local wound problem particularly worth reassessing. I would recommend review by the operating surgeon or a general surgeon at the earliest. The wound should be examined directly, and further assessment such as an ultrasound or wound culture may be considered depending on the examination. Until reviewed, keep the area clean and dry and avoid squeezing or probing the wound.
