My husband has had a tumour removed from his buttock. A very large incision, as the tumour was embedded in the gluteous maximus and all had to be removed. He is still in hospital eight weeks after the operation as the wound is not closing at one bad damaged patch of skin  caused by the radiotherapy he had prior to surgery. Has been told will take a long time to heal, but will eventually, although may need a skin graft at some point. They are putting on honey dressings at the moment to aid healing. He will be sent home soon. He will have return regularly to have it checked. Interested to know if anyone else has had this wound healing problem
