Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to inhibit inflammation, an integral part of the wound-healing process. Compromised wound repair has been demonstrated in laboratory animals administered high-dose nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, a phenomenon we speculate could occur in humans undergoing surgery. We report a dramatic case of impaired wound healing in a patient ingesting high-dose perioperative ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.Entities:
