A member asked:

I recently had a laparotomy surgery done and now i have watery fluid coming out of the operation.is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

YES: This is called serous fluid and normal with wound healing.. I suggest calling your surgeon and consulting him/her about this. You may be asked to come in for a culture of the fluid.

I had a salpingectomy performed via laparotomy in March. I have a bump on the side where the surgery was performed. Doc said that was where he 'tied it/ made a knot' and that the bump would subside. Bump has not subsided. Should I worry?
