Question 1

what to do with 840 mililiters blood  in abdomen after hernia surgery had hernia repair surgery on testicle  was in bad pain 2 weeks later  dr said blood floating around in abdomen

Accepted Answer

Many : Many times the blood you are talking about is bodily fluids tinged with blood. Sometimes you don't even have to drain that fluid. I'm assuming they did because you have an exact measure of 840 milliliters... Either way many times a collection of bodily fluids or even frank blood as long as the bleeding stopped is left alone for your body to deal with.

Question 2

Maybe: Hemolysis of the blood can elevated bilirubin and jaundice with normal liver function.

Question 3

5 days after laproscopy my abdomen is swollen and sore. is this normal? surgery was due to a mass of blood surrounding my uterus.

Accepted Answer

Yes , some times: Type of surgery you are describing , bowel function is returning slowly to normal, during this period , ail have bloating , distention and discomfort. Wait few days , you will be fine.

Question 4

what could cause a rash on the abdomen after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Allergic reaction: If the rash is itchy it could be an allergic reaction to surgical prep, to the bandaging tape or antibiotic (if) applied to wound area.
If the rash is painful it could be an infection of some type.

Question 5

rash on abdomen after surgery. could it be from tape?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If the rash is in the same pattern and same location where tape is or was located, then yes. Some people get reactions to tape. See or ask  your surgeon.

Question 6

had laparoscopic sugery one week ago.  developing new petechiae spots over abdomen.  is that normal after surgery or something to be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Petichiae: Petechia are non-blanching, circumscribed, flat, small (less than 3mm) dermal hemorrhagic spot. Causes usually associated with platelet dysfunction, but pressure can be a possibility too. This would not be typical problem associated with laparoscopic surgery. You should let your provider know about the problem.

Question 7

i don't think my surgeon removed any co2 from my abdomen after surgery. is there a way to tell if he left it all in or not?

Accepted Answer

I would not worry: Co2 is used because it is rapidly absorbed by the body and removed.  When the instruments are removed at the end of the case - the majority co2 ruses out.  The small amount that is left int will be reabsorbed within a few hours.

Question 8

hello! my husband is having robotic laparoscopic surgery on a small hernia in his upper abdomen. can he fly 10 days after surgery? if not, why? thanks

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: As reported, your hubby had uneventful minimally invasive abdominal hernia repair - not specified; congratulation! Clinically and generally speaking, he should have no reason for avoiding flight 10 days after such procedure. But, for sake of safety, asking the surgeon, who knew the best detail and nature of the procedure, is the most reasonable thing to do. Best wishes to his health...

Question 9

after surgery 14mos ago to remove rt colon and sm part of intestine. i have severe pain on left side upper abdomen and swelling. with burning sensatio?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: As unfortunately the symptoms you describe could be related to so many different issues that can't be accurately determined without more information, the chance to examine you and possible testing.  I would strongly encourage you to seek help in person when any symptoms is "severe".

Question 10

should i have exploratory surgery on my abdomen? i have been dealing with stomach and/or intestinal issues for a couple of years now. i have had many tests such as, endoscopy, colonoscopy, xrays, ct's, tons of blood work, gall bladder scan and stomach emp

Accepted Answer

First : First of all you need a surgeon who is willing to do an ex lap surgery. The only thing i think they may find is possible scar tissue and honestly I am not sure this would cause all of your symptoms. It sounds like you may be dealing with ibs (irritable bowel syndrome), however the vomiting is not characteristic. Have you or were you ever exposed to any chemicals or lived near an industrial plant? Is it possible that you are ingesting a substance that you are unaware of? Consider your surroundings and everything you take in. Is anything different in your life since this all started? If you think of anything discuss this with your doctors; every bit of information may be helpful in solving this puzzle.
I hope you find answers soon.
