Problem

A 35-year-old male had a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at your center for the purposes of weight loss. On postoperative day 5, the patient went to urgent care with complaints of redness, tenderness, and itching at one of the laparoscopic incision sites. The patient was discharged home with a diagnosis of "erythema." The provider called in a prescription for Clindamycin due to a "possible infection." The next day, the patient followed up with the bariatric specialist at your center. The provider documented there was no infection and discontinued the antibiotics. They were shown how to clean the wound with non-irritating soaps. A follow-up appointment was scheduled. Which postoperative occurrence would you assign (if any) based on the information above?
