Asked By:garzon01 in Fort Lauderdale, FL

I had surgery back in 2016 in Colombia with one of the best over there. i had a complication, my wound wouldn't close. they did a second suture and didn't work. i had a nurse taking care of my wound twice a day. Today it open again, there is liquid coming out..once again I'm using DuoDerm. ER they send me home with Cephalexin my doc asked me to go back and have a ECG done, he says it may be a fistula communicating the implant with the skin so liquid can come out.... something like it.
