Hello,
It can be an inflammatory reaction or post operative infection. As of now only close followup is required. If the size persists or you develop symptoms like fever or abdominal pain, the fluid must be drained under ultrasound guidance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
