On POD 24 incision opened left me with an exposed implant went to the OR that evening was told if there was any infection thar they would remove both but luckily they did cultures which showed no infection ( there was a couple bugs) he washed the pocket out with 3L replaced the implant did more cultures that then showed nothing and put me on keflex 500mg q6h for 7days. I'm post op day 3. I feel good just a bit tired. What is the likelyhood of salvaging my implant. Is there a decent success rate?
