Hi, I am Dr. Charles Mano Sylus from Chennai. Was it an open or laparoscopic surgery and after surgery, did she come to the room with a drain in her and secondly is her abdomen distended or bloated and associated with pain. You can take a usg abdomen to see if there is any intra abdomen finding post surgery and if not checked for covid, pls repeat. But pls do consult your primary surgeon and get her examined
Next Steps
USG Abdomen, CBC, LFT, Chest Xray PA view
