I repeat:
Investigate Silverlon dressings.
They have solved all these issues.
This is one of the areas where colloidal silver has gone mainstream with
huge success.
They have a dressing specifically for healing surgical incisions.
It allows the wound to drain and breathe while protecting against infection.
Also stimulates healing (as silver is known to do) and reduces pain.
Ask your doctor about it.

Subject: Re: CS>can anyone make a suggestion about an open wound
A 20% DMSO 80% EIS compress is not a bad way to go.
Although it is not the best way to deal with large areas of
tissue destruction, it might be good for an incision.
The type of wound she has can take a long time to heal.
It is going to weep a lot and needs to be kept open and
draining as it heal from the inside out.
Closing it prematurely will cause infection.
There are wound care specialists, generally a plastic surgeon.
I used a wound care clinic when I had a bad dog bite wound,
that killed off the skin and dermal layers down to the muscle.
It was a whole new world, much like burn treatment, healing
the area. Took a month to heal a 1.75 " area as the skin had
to grow in from the sides, it is pure scar tissue.

I assume that it is an opening into the abdominal cavity. An incision
into the body is often left to heal on it's own these days since the
chance of infection is so great if it is sewed shut. It can take some
weeks to close on its own. I would be tempted to get some silver bandages
to use over it, even though they are pretty spendy. Alternatively,
keeping a gauze dampened with CS might just do the same thing as far as
keeping it from getting infected. I would be tempted to ask the doctor if
a silver dressing would make the skin heal too fast- maybe they don't
want it to close too soon, due to risk of infection.

My friend was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. They discovered it
on a Thursday and on the following Tuesday she was operated on and
everything "female" was taken out. They closed up her belly-button
since a lymph node was pushing through (that is how they found out about
the ovarian cancer). Now the incision will not heal properly. She is on
chemo for 1 year - going once a week (three weeks on and one week off).
Other than the cancer she is in excellent health. She is 66 years old.
Would CS help heal this type of open wound? She wrote the following:
"As far as my opening the Dr. said that there is nothing more he can do.
TO reopen it they would have to stop the cemo and that becomes a real
problem in the chances are the cemo would not work. So we will go with
the cemo and hope that maybe this will close on its own. There is that
chance. It is not in fected at this time and if I keep it clean it
should be fine."
She is willing to try different approaches - I would like to give her
some suggestions and then she can make up her own mind as to try them or
not. Thank you for any help you could afford her.
