Pus exudate after an open sinus lift operation?
Last Updated: Jan 30, 2019
On a recent case, pus is exudating two weeks after an open sinus lift procedure. I believe that the area has to be revisited and all the graft removed. My question is, in this situation, do I have to place a collagen membrane over the sinus window after removal of the graft and disinfection?
