This is a hospital with very skilled real doctors
Do you know what a carbuncle is?
You seem like a caring person
Wouldn’t it have been more responsible to learn what a carbuncle is before
saying how you FEEL like it looks, and putting down doctors that devote there lives to healing people.
That’s all dead tissue, if it’s not removed it will keep getting worse, and the infection will kill the person
The doctor wrote the patient was completely healed in a month
Diabetic patients are prone to bactremia and septicemia if the source of infection is not eliminated. Also there sugar levels are difficult to control unless the infection is finishes. The local infection also keep spreading rapidly if dead tissue and pus is not removed. You may see in the video that pus is dripping from all the tissue that is excised. Time-focus on work not clock. Scar-either have the cake or eat it, options are limited, saving life is priority.
Yes the patient was under general intubation anaesthesia
You are the Man Doc! Excellent procedure! Thank You for allowing us to watch you work!
@carmy60 It was oozing pus from multiple openings, there was lot of necrotic tissue inside that I excised. Patient is feeling better, antibiotics are being given as per culture and sensitivity report and diabetes is controlled by giving titrated humanactrapid insulin and the wound is healing. Thanks for interacting.
oh ya and btw George Washington had one of these
To: Laura Estrada, this doctor is the best of the best. This is who I would go to if I had this condition. I am sure it looks barbaric if you have not seen many cases.
That thing was HUGE !
Is there usually a hospital stay after this type of surgery?
No, the wounds with pus are left open to facilitate drainage of infected secritions
OH and I get to have this type of surgery in a month….
Was the patient’s wound closed after procedure?
excellant surgery
Yes I agree with bigredc222 that we are seeing a great doctor doing a great job of saving a case which has been delayed by the patient due to reasons best known to the patient and surgeon is doing a very precise and cleaning job which I think exectly is required and must have saved the life of this patient. All the pus and dead flesh collecting in the back of the neck. Great job doctor.
Excellent job
Since the the exit was available through the openings created by sloughed out tissue pus had oozed out and was pressed out what is left to be excised in a diabetic carbuncle of standing of say more than two weeks is the thick, necrotic tissue as a result of pancellulitis which is the characteristic of diabetic carbuncle. This tissue is like a thick and tough sponge of pus engrossed in it uniformly.
Excellent surgery to take out all the bad flesh causing danger to the patient
I hope that I NEVER get one of these! Poor guy probably woke up in agony
Excellent surgery of a difficult illness in a difficult area of body
amazing doctor!
