Yellowish red fluid coming from stiches
Recently, on 17/11/21 had ERCP to remove stone from CBD. On 20/11/21 had laparoscopic cholecystectomy and adhesiolysis (above navel). From 29/11/21 fluid is coming out of the stitches (above navel). On 3/12/21 stiches were removed. First it was yellowish fluid, since two days little red colour is also spotted. Antibiotic is stopped from 4/11/21. No topical ointment is applied. Doctor who performed the surgery said patient is okay, also advised to keep the spot open to get air. But, is he really okay? What might can happened to him? What are the treatments? Please advise.
