Lee, if I were in your situation, I would request my doctor take any excised tissue and send it to a top diagnostics lab -- one that has advanced molecular diagnostics. The results might help explain what went wrong, as well as what antimicrobial treatments could be used during and after surgery.

Again, this is just a suggestion, if in fact there was any kind of infection process that contributed to your complication. You may expect some resistance, but do your best, as this can only help. It could lead to a quicker, lasting recovery.
