Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Infection
Yes, a family relative has a prostate removal 10 days ago. Then yesterday the hospital found a nick in his intestines, and now he has major infection in his abdominal area. They had to do major surgery again. How long will it take him to recover? Thanks!!

nick in intestine means there is peritonitis due to irritation of infective materiel leaks from intestine. a exploratory laprotomy is needed to correct that.
recovery depends on that during surgery what is condition of intestine. if nicked part is healthy they can repair it but if it is not healthy than they need to take it out to abdominal wall and wait till i become healthy. after that need to do 2nd surgery to repair and replace that part
