Infected wound following surgery for an abdominal abscess on a 67 year old female patient. The abscess was caused by diverticulitis, a condition that affects the large intestine and forms bulges or pouches in the walls of the intestine called diverticula. The main symptoms of this condition are pain in the abdomen and gastrointestinal issues. In rare cases, diverticulitis can lead to serious complications such as blockages or injuries in the bowel that may require surgery. Some people will need to have a colostomy. | |
