Patient's question:
Appendectomy surgery has been treated for eight days, and there is a small amount of fluid detected.Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion is generally divided into two categories. One is primarily caused by inflammatory exudation, especially with purulent appendicitis and gangrenous appendicitis being most prone to occur. Of course, it can be resolved through surgery, but there may be some residual after the operation. The other type is pelvic effusion caused by residual irrigation fluid during surgery.Sun Yat-sen University Southern Medical University, Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University
