Abdominal fluid due to appendicitis is a purulent secretion that leaks out as a result of the inflammation of the appendix. The time it takes for the appendicitis abdominal fluid to drain out varies from person to person, usually a few days to ten days, and it needs to be drained properly.
Abdominal fluid is a common problem after appendicitis surgery, and the amount of fluid varies from person to person depending on their condition. Therefore, the time to drain the abdominal fluid after appendicitis surgery varies from person to person, and after postoperative drainage treatment, generally speaking, a few days to ten days are able to drain.
There are two ways to drain after appendectomy, one is postural drainage, the patient takes semi-recumbent position in the early postoperative period, so that the local exudate flows to the pelvis and then absorbed. The second is to place an abdominal drain to drain purulent secretions; if there is blood seepage and other conditions that lead to abdominal fluid, also need to place a drain. Generally, the fluid or blood seepage can be absorbed in a few days to ten days after the operation.
