A patient is being treated for a large unhealed wound due to multiple debridements for fournier gangrene. The patient no longer has the fournier gangrene, however the patient does still have a bacterial infection within the wound. So would this be considered a complication? I wouldn’t consider it a post operative infection since the infection began before the operative procedures. Or would you recommend coding it as surgical aftercare? Any advice is appreciated!
