Follow-up: Physicians and surgeons take great care in trying to minimize risks for infection, but even so, infections can still happen. I'm sorry he's had this complication. Follow-up with the physician on proper wound care, take the required antibiotics, and continue frequent check-ups to improve the chances of a better outcome. If you have any concerns, bring it up right away with a physician!
