There are certain dangers after surgery for liver abscesses, and complications such as abdominal infections may occur. Surgical options for liver abscesses include incision and drainage and resection of liver lobes and segments. There are risks associated with any surgery, and abdominal infections, fistulas, and non-healing wounds may occur after liver abscess surgery. During incision and drainage, if care is not taken to properly protect the abdominal cavity and surrounding organs, there is a risk of pus overflow contaminating the surrounding organs, which can later develop into an infection of the abdominal cavity, and the patient can develop fever and other symptoms. If the patient’s general condition is poor, or if the knots and sutures are not securely tied, postoperative anastomotic fistulae and wound non-healing may occur, for which the patient’s general condition should be improved and active symptomatic treatment should be given. Any surgery carries risks, so informed consent is required before surgery.
