Epidemiology
Infections are a relatively common acute postoperative
complication.10 The likelihood of infection varies with several
factors: predisposing factors of the patient, complexity of the
case, and prophylactic antibiotics.
Clinical Presentation
This pain usually will begin several days after the surgery and
typically is progressive. Constitutional symptoms and signs
such as fever, fatigue, and malaise are also common.
Examination findings include drainage, which can range from
serosanguinous to frankly purulent, and peri-incisional
erythema, induration, warmth, and tenderness.
