Laparoscopic hysterectomy, Surgical site discharge, Infection, MycobacteriumAbstract
In this case study, we explore the intricate surgical experience of a 45-year-old woman who post laparoscopic total hysterectomy for fibroid uterus, presented with persistent surgical site discharge. Despite multiple courses of antibiotic therapy, the symptoms persisted, and the infective organism remained unidentified
