Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I would like to know if there is a risk of gangrene spreading in the future after the surgery. Kindly help.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Madhav Tiwari

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

It is most unlikely for gangrene to happen again.

Adhesions will not clear up on their own, but that does not mean that it will cause trouble going forward.

However, It is advisable to make sure to understand the surgery. The surgical record has to be stored safely to refer to any problems that can arise in 40 to 50 years.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.

Not understood sir

Okay The chance that he will have gangrene again is low So don’t worry The adhesions that your doctor told you about - I don’t think they will cause him any problem either

Patient's Query

3 months finished sir, if gangrene spread means symptoms will there na, but he is good, my question is after now any chance to come
Answered by Dr. Madhav Tiwari
There is almost nil to minimal chance of this happening again

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
