Can an abdominal lung infection after surgery for bowel perforation be saved?

If the infection in the abdominal cavity and lungs continues to worsen after bowel perforation surgery, the chance of survival is very small; if the infection is controlled, the chance of survival is large. Most cases of abdominal infection after bowel perforation surgery are the continuation of the infection after the perforation. Surgery only repairs the bowel perforation and improves the infection caused by the perforation, and if the abdominal infection continues to be unimproved, causing infections in the lungs, such as pulmonary pneumonia, and the infection continues to worsen, then the chances of survival will be very small. If the abdominal infection and lung infection after bowel perforation surgery can be gradually controlled after active anti-infective treatment and the infection gradually improves, the chance of survival is high and the prognosis is ideal. The survival rate of abdominal and lung infections after bowel perforation surgery requires not only anti-infective treatment, but also nutritional and physical conditions and other factors, so extra attention is needed to help improve the survival rate. It is recommended to actively cooperate with the treatment and follow the doctor’s instructions.
