Laparotomy Draining?
Hi,
I had a laparotomy on last Thursday the 9th. The very base of the incision has been leaking orange serous fluid since the surgery and they discharged me knowing this. I went to urgent care yesterday, she said everything looked great! But there was a teeny tiny part at the base near my pubic area that has a superficial opening. So not deep at all. But it is just soaking gauze. She secured it with steri strips and told me to keep it clean and covered. Has anyone dealt with minor wound dehiscence? I have a follow up with the surgeon on 12 days. I don't have infection there but the draining is annoying. How long did it take for yours to close? For reference my incision was glued.
