An abscess is from an infection which are very common after surgery. However, although infection may happen, abscess is not usually there. It's a pus fill sac. They are painful and can be very dangerous. It sounds like your mom has had many operations because of the colon cancer, am I right? Have you spoken to the surgeon? The surgeon should have the right answer unless you already did speak to him/her and you weren't satisfied with the answer you got. Just speculating. All in all, I really have to say 'no' an abscess is not common after any surgery. I only say that because I also don't know your mom's case. Speak with her doctor and see what is said. Hope you mom feels better soon. God bless.
