Surgery, if indicated, can be done in a patient who has had infection in the past. The surgeon must be cognizant about such a history and will take due diligence to avoid having an infection in the surgical site. These include use of correct and appropriate antibiotics before and after surgery, and keeping the patient informed as well as regular follow up, to diagnose an infection if it happens and treat it accordingly. These patients are at a higher risk of getting infected, especially if the infection was in the same surgical site where they have been operated.
