Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Hi. My niece had surgery about 6 weeks ago. She had scar tissue after a couple weeks, the dr. went in again and did some more work to take care of it. Then the incsion that went down her stomach from the 2nd operation got infected. The wound had to be drained and left open to heal. It's been a nightmare. Now the adhesions are back again. This dr. was supposed to be good and even taught this surgery. Any advice ?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 you mean inside the stomach or out? one of my incisions on the outside was irritated and my mom called the dr because it got really swollen. he told her it was like a pimple that formed in between my skin and muscles and it would eventually pop. it did and it leaked and leaked and leaked. then i went there a couple days later when he took my staples out and he had to pop it open again and clean it. he told me to dip a piece of gauge in saline solution 2 times aday and put it on the wound and cover it with gauge pads and tape it up. seems to be healing. lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
