Dangers of Infection
Surgery is always a potentially dangerous experience that should be taken seriously. The hazards associated with operations are high and each patient should be informed about the dangers associated with his or her medical procedure. Infection is one of the primary threats to patients after their procedures are complete and has a wide variety of causes, symptoms, and consequences.
The invasive nature of surgical procedures puts the body under a significant amount of stress and even simple, routine activities put the patient in danger of contracting an infection. The longer the body is exposed to open air, foreign objects, and other humans, the greater the risk of developing a post surgical complication can become.
Some of the most common signs and symptoms of infection include:
- High, uncontrollable fever
- Swelling on or near the surgical site
- Dizziness or nausea
- Growths around the incision site
Surgical procedures such as hernia repair or treatment may leave a patient vulnerable to infection. Unfortunately for many people, the use of AlloDerm patches has resulted in an increased chance of suffering from a serious infection.
