My husband had a distalpanc/splenectomy too. He also developed fluid pockets and an abscess. Can you tell me how long after the surgery you got the infection? My husbands was three weeks later. He did not have to be hospitalized again luckily but I am still [acking his wound. Best of luck to you!

About 2.5 weeks after surgery I went home and could not control the pain at all so badly the next morning we called an ambulance I was readmitted for IV antibiotics and stayed another ten days. I’m glad his is manageable at home. It’s a long healing process! He’s lucky to have you!
