If a post abdominal surgery wound infection develops, the infected wound should be evaluated. If there is abscess formation incise the abscess cavity, without abscess formation clean the wound and apply antibiotics.
1. Abscess formation: debridement of the wound is required. Clinically, incision of the abscess cavity is generally used to aspirate the pus and infected necrotic tissue. Remove part of the suture, use hydrogen peroxide, povidone-iodine, saline to flush the infected wound, fill with sterile povidone-iodine gauze to drain the pus, and change the dressing regularly.
2. No abscess formation: clinically use iodophor, saline to clean the wound, and apply antibiotics according to the patient’s physical condition. It is also necessary to check whether there are factors affecting wound healing. For example, anemia, low protein, whether to use immunosuppressive drugs. Normally, attention should be paid to strengthening diet and nutrition to improve immunity and promote wound healing.
Regardless of whether there is abscess formation or not, you need to take amoxicillin, cefaclor or intravenous use of ceftriaxone sodium, levofloxacin and other antibiotics to treat, and strengthen the nutritional support to promote healing.
Once the wound infection after abdominal surgery occurs, you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible and receive professional treatment in time to avoid delay. Drugs should be applied under the guidance of a doctor.
