Hi everyone, I had a mastectomy with diep flap reconstruction about 12 days ago. I am having a bit of an issue with the stomach wound at the moment. The wound is from hip to hip and most of it has healed beautifully. However, there is a small section about an inch long, that just won't heal and is oozing a yellow puss like substance. I am cleaning and redressing daily and am on antibiotics. I am due back in clinic, but not sure what else they can do. Has anyone had any issues similar to this, post surgery and what did they do to solve the problem?
