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 has already been a week, and the child's wound has not healed yet. My husband and I are very worried. What could be the reason for the wound not healing after inguinal hernia surgery?
Doctor's answer:
Hernia surgery is a very common surgical procedure in clinical diagnosis. The surgical incision is also relatively small. If, one week after the surgery, the wound has not fully healed and even shows symptoms of leakage, seepage, and redness and swelling again, it is definitely an indication of wound infection. In this case, it is recommended to perform a second debridement. Additionally, it is advised to enhance the wound's anti-infection measures and dressing changes, as well as to provide appropriate nutritional support to effectively promote wound healing.
