A member asked:
Does a constant pinkish-reddish fluid coming from recent lumbar surgery wound indicate a csf leak or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If your post surgical wound is leaking you should inform your surgeon and see them as soon as possible. It could be CSF leak or infection.
