Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Originally, my husband and I thought that our child, who is three years old, could have the inguinal hernia surgery at the hospital. But last week, we took him for the inguinal hernia surgery. Now, it's already been a week, and the child's wound hasn't healed yet. My husband and I are very worried. What could be the reason why the wound isn't healing after the inguinal hernia surgery?
Doctor's answer:
Hernia surgery is a very common surgical procedure in clinical diagnosis, and the surgical incision is relatively small. If the wound has not fully healed after one week, or if symptoms of leakage, seepage, and hemarthrosis reappear, it is definitely a sign of wound infection. In this case, it is recommended to perform a secondary debridement. Additionally, it is advised to enhance the wound's anti-infection and dressing change treatment, as well as to provide appropriate nutritional support to effectively promote wound healing.
