My hubby had Mandibulectomy on 3/19/2019, he had to go through 2 procedures to wash out infection on his chin. Has anyone experienced similar infections?
His cosmetics surgeon who did reconstruction surgery said bacteria colonized the titanium plate, which might need to be taken out later. I wondering whether it s the plate or it is bone not healing that caused the problem.
