Is Oozing From A Pinhole In Ventral Hernia Repair Site Serious?
I have had a large ventral hernia repair in 1995. Now a pinhole has developed where the umbilical cord used to be and green stuff is constantly oozing out of it. I have to keep a gauze pad on it all the time. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hello,
Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.
If I am your doctor I advice you that yes it is serious, You should visit to the concerned surgeon to see what it is. It is suspected Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection sice green color fluid is coming out, also there is possibility of bile coming out of the opening. Exact diagnosis requires visual examination.
