  1. Hello all, Question from my personal life. I have been helping my aunt who had emergency surgery in August to correct a bowel obstruction and have run into many complications along the way including a dehisced midline incision, infection, baseball sized blisters and g tube placement that was finally removed last Monday. Since that time the puncture where they removed to tube has been draining large amounts of thick purulent drainage (saturates a ABD Q4-6 hours) dark yellow in color with darker particles sprinkled throughout and strangely has been making a high pitch flatus sound for lack of a better description. You can see drainage push its way out as it makes this bubbling sound and it is almost constant. I have updated her general surgery PA and she does not seen all that concerned. I have worked with many patients within my career where tubes have been removed and yes drainage happens but I have never heard an audible sound nor seen the amounts of drainage coming from her wound. Can someone enlighten me about the situation? Do I need to push a little harder with the PA or wait for the site to (hopefully) seal over?
