Asking for Sister, Female, 1 years old, karachi
My baby sis was born with imperforate anus and underwent sigmoid colostomy (loop) on 4th post operative day patient has wound dhesis causing bowel protrusion and patient underwent refreshening of the stoma divided 3-3-18. sir i want to ask that my baby was stable his lab reports were ok only platelets count was less after her first colostomy no sign of infection i think it was doctors negligence that wound dhesis occurred because assistant dr came to change her colostomy bag she first changed it and came after 1 hour to see the wound and told us we need to operate her again. now patient is in icu after her refreshening stoma suffering from a infection but she is much stable plz guide me below is her case summary..

salam,
may allah bless her with health and long life.
she will be just fine inshallah.
its not uncommon at times for the wound to present like this.
Wound dehiscence is one of the most common complications of surgical wounds, involving the breaking open of the surgical incision along the suture. Typically, the sutures or closures around wound edges should stay intact while new tissue, known as "granulation tissue," starts forming to help heal the wound.
i wont think it was doctors Negligence, asi am based in the UK and i see alot of this happening to various age group patients post operative.
my only question is that when she was born with imperforate anus, how did was sent home at the time with out being seen and assessed ? is a child is being with out an anal opening , he or she need to be operated well before sending home.
please follow your doctors advice and she should be improving in time.
hope this helps.
thanks
Fine. She will improve. At times the muscle n abdominal wall is weak that's y this happened. May be u r right n colostomy needs be observed. Anyhow
U need to consult with Peadiatric surgeon for further assistance
