Whether syphilis affects the surgery needs to be decided according to the urgency of the surgery and syphilis condition comprehensive analysis.
If the patient has had syphilis in the past and has undergone regular treatment, and the patient is found to be positive for TPPA in the follow-up, but the RPR has turned negative, or the serum has been fixed in the follow-up, then it will not have much effect on the surgery. However, if the patient is positive for TPPA and also positive for RPR, and has not undergone regular treatment in the past, the choice will depend on the situation.
If the disease requiring surgery is not too urgent, elective surgery can be chosen. It is recommended that the patient use penicillin to control syphilis in a regular and sufficient amount, and then choose the timing of surgery. However, if the patient’s original disease is more critical and requires urgent surgery, he or she can be operated directly. However, the sterilization as well as protection requirements for both the patient and the doctor during the surgical operation will be more stringent.
