Potential dangers after an appendectomy include, but are not limited to, infection, adhesions in the repaired bowel (these adhesions are common in bowel surgery), and in extreme cases death. Some symptoms that might occur are worsening pain, fever, redness, swelling, or warmth at the incision sight, and drainage from the incision. Contact your doctor right away if you experience any of these symptoms.
