My Aunt Had Hernia Removal Surgery Two Weeks Back. Yesterday She Got Her Bandage And Staple Stitches Removed. I Am Attaching Picture Of Wound. I Want Second Opinion For Her As Wound Is Slightly Open. I Doubt It Will Raise Infection But Her Doctor Says Wound Is Fine And Will Heal On Its Own Now.
She Can't Visit Hospital Again And Again. Please Advise On Picture Attached That Is It Normal Or Not?
Thanks!
patient should visit again to surgeon for better evaluation and further management
Dont keep it open…i advise dressing at home preferably use oxoferrin solution for dressing if possible
wash daily with normal saline ...try to to sequeze it to bring fluid blood or any collection out.....it will automatically vlose ...if fever them antibioatic should be usef
Do daily dressings
daily dressing,antibiotics,and put an abdominal belt
wound reasonable.
only dressing daily. inshaAllah ok
It appears to heal but I need to know whether your doctor has placed a mesh or not
advise daily dressing wound is clean
Wound healing is incomplete from one edge.. it will heal but if there is no discharge from it and you are changing dressing on daily basis.. if there is discharge.. it should be cultures than appropriate antibiotics should be used
i may have advised abdominoplasty with hernia any way wound will heal with time just have dressing
