Oh crap. I forgot to mention that the hemicolectomy site had dehisced, THEN there was stool in it...does that change anything? I suppose my worry is that our focus right now is bowel elimination...and...
I naturally want to go with Delayed surgical recovery...but I feel like that's sort of old news? Although, it's not really, the day I had this patient, she had just had her ileostomy placed one day...
