Bacterial Postoperative InfectionA bacterial postoperative infection occurs at the surgical site. Over the years, the shorter hospital stays has made it necessary for postoperative wound care to be managed at home. A patient should be aware of the risks and possible complications that can occur during surgery so that precautions can be taken and signs and symptoms recognized early. A bacterial postoperative infection will be evident if a fever develops or if redness, swelling, tenderness or drainage at the incision is present. Any symptom indicating a bacterial postoperative infection may be present should be taken seriously and acted upon immediately. By diagnosing and treating a bacterial postoperative infection early the patient can prevent the condition from worsening and causing further complications. Bacterial postoperative infections can cause prolonged healing and longer hospitalization time. The costs to treat the bacterial postoperative infection can be significant, in addition to the pain and discomfort that can accompany it. Medical oversight and negligence can contribute to bacterial postoperative infection and patients have rights. Seeking damages for surgical mistakes can be difficult and the development of a bacterial postoperative infection will not automatically mean a strong case is present.
