Answer 1

I'm not sure what you're asking. What do you mean dressings? Post some details so I know what you want to know.

I had my colon resected a year and a half ago because my cancer had spread to my colon. So the affected parts of my colon were excised and the remaining ends were sewn together.I have a 15 inch incision on my abdomen where my muscles and nerves were cut to access the perotoneal cavity/body cavity. I'm not sure what the doctors used in the interior for dressings?? but on the exterior, my abdomen was sewn (by different layers) and stapled.

The external dressing consisted of gauze, bandage, and tape. It was checked regularly to make sure it dry.
