Surgical adhesions
Posted: Fri Jun 24, 2005 3:20 pm
PX recently (3 weeks ago) had abdominal surgery to remove a benign tumor in
inquinal area. Tumor was encapsulated and removed intact. Incision healed
without incident until last week when a red, very sensitive area of the
incision began to swell. Area was so painful Px would shout out when the incision
was touched. Radiograph revealed adhesions though I suspected a possible
strangulated hernia. No evidence of such. Used Staph but I'm not seeing this
resolve. I'm not finding any reference to surgical adhersions in the
literature. Any suggestions?
