A lady of 56yrs old underwent hiatus hernia laparoscopic surgery and had some complications to the extent that the internal stitches open and resulted in infection. The infection could not be cure with anti biotics and had to undergo open operation to fix the loose stiches, exactly two weeks after the first operation. Since then she has been on ventilator with deep sedation. The doctors admitted that her recovery process is too slow to the extent that they had to re-stitched the open wound again. As she is critically I'll, we are ready for ur recommendation and if possible meet u for further consultation. I would appreciate ur prompt response please. Sani Abdul |
