Dr. Kundan Kharde - Infection Treatment Specialist in Pune

Common Surgical Infections

Surgical site infections (SSIs) can occur after any operation — presenting as wound redness, swelling, discharge, or fever. Perianal infections include abscesses, infected fistula tracts, and post-procedure wound infections. Chronic non-healing wounds may result from diabetes, poor blood supply, or persistent infection. Each type requires a targeted treatment approach.

Treatment Approach

Dr. Kharde follows an evidence-based approach: accurate diagnosis through clinical assessment and cultures, targeted antibiotics based on sensitivity patterns (not blind empirical therapy when avoidable), surgical drainage or debridement when collections or necrotic tissue are present, and structured wound care until healing. Antibiotic stewardship — using the right antibiotic for the right duration — is a priority.

FAQs about Infection Treatment in Pune

What types of surgical infections does Dr. Kharde treat?

Dr. Kharde manages surgical site infections (SSIs) after abdominal or anorectal surgery, perianal sepsis, wound dehiscence, infected pilonidal sinuses, post-operative abscess formation, and chronic non-healing surgical wounds. Treatment is guided by wound assessment and culture results.

How are surgical infections diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves clinical assessment (redness, swelling, discharge, fever), wound cultures for antibiotic sensitivity, blood tests (WBC, CRP), and imaging when deep infection is suspected. Dr. Kharde follows evidence-based protocols for accurate diagnosis.

When does an infection need surgical intervention?

Surgical intervention is needed when there is a collection of pus (abscess) requiring drainage, dead tissue needing debridement, wound breakdown (dehiscence), or infection not responding to antibiotics alone. Timely intervention prevents sepsis and prolonged healing.

How can post-operative infections be prevented?

Prevention includes proper surgical technique, prophylactic antibiotics when indicated, sterile wound care, blood sugar control in diabetics, good nutrition, and following post-operative instructions carefully. Dr. Kharde provides detailed wound care guidance after every procedure.

What is perianal sepsis?

Perianal sepsis refers to infection around the anus — typically presenting as a painful abscess. It requires urgent drainage to prevent spread. Common causes include infected anal glands, Crohn's disease, and rarely, foreign bodies. Dr. Kharde manages both acute and recurrent perianal sepsis.

How long does infection treatment take?

Simple wound infections may resolve in 1-2 weeks with appropriate care. Deep or complex infections may take several weeks and require multiple wound assessments. The timeline depends on infection severity, patient health, and compliance with treatment.

Does insurance cover infection treatment?

Most health insurance policies cover treatment for surgical infections, including drainage procedures and hospitalisation when medically necessary. Coverage details depend on your specific policy. Dr. Kharde's team assists with insurance documentation.
