Asked for female
My 3rd c-section was on 14sep after which it got infected n restuturing was done on 24 sep after a month from incision side watery discharge was coming out which continued till now n it had converted into pus.
Now in scan report shows collection of 1.7*1.0cm and MRSA Bacteria in wound culture report.Surgeon saying it is due to prolene thread which was used in stitches.
Now they advise is to open the wound n remove prolene thread n clean the pus once again.
Is it safe to open wound again and again please advise.
