With any cut on the body, there is risk of infection. Even a paper cut can invite bacteria in. Although infection would likely occur just days following surgery, it is possible that bacteria remained dormant for a while. I also don't know if your husband heals well or not, if he is diabetic or not, etc.
Yes, there are wound care clinics, usually within a hospital. However, it is good for the surgeon to follow through. He knows the progress of the wound and the surgery he performed. You need to weigh everything out before you decide to go to a wound care clinic. As horrifying as the cavity appears, it does need to be open to allow drainage, and it WILL heal from inside out.
