Brief Answer:
its infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Glad to hear that your father got discharged.
That discharge can be due to a little infection there, or a rare possibility is that of the suture used inside to close the rectus sheath is either left too long or that has got infected.
He need a course of antibiotic for it. You need to consult your doctor for the prescription.
