My son is 10 years old and had his appendix removed last week wednesday but now he's back in hospital because the wound is infected.

Known complication: Not sure what your question is, but wound infections are a known complication after surgery, and following your surgeon’s directions going home TO THE LETTER avoid some, but not all postoperative problems. Patients whose appendices have ruptured before removal surgically have higher complication rates
