What causes infection after gallbladder stone removal?
Patient: my mother had a gall bladder stone operation on last monday.she had a pipe from the cut end to outside to release the wastage.but day by day the wastage is increasing & neutrofil count has increased.doctor said its an infection.he wants to do endoscopy & ERCP.is it ok?how much serious is my mother s health? Doctor: HiIf The colour of fluid coming out from drain is greenish,then its bile leakage from gallbladder stump which hasnt been tied properly or due infection.If the colour is greyish creamy then its most probably pus due to infection.I would have suggested laparoscopy to look into the the abdomen and fix whatever it isI woud also send fluid for culture and sensitvityIn my opinion you shoud consult a general surgeonThanks
