| | Suturing either nerve at the time of surgery causes persistent pain that is present as the patient awakens from the anesthesia. | | | Also, with that extent of infection and surgery she had to undergo, there is an increased risk of intestinal obstruction (locked bowels), as if someone had poured rubber cement into her abdominal (peritoneal) cavity, creating bands of adhesions (fibrous web-scar tissue involving her small intestines). | | | With any surgery the standard of care requires that the surgeon and their assistant not leave any sponges (gauze pads) inside the body. |
