Comparative Study Between Mass Closure and Layered Closure in Midline Abdominal Incisions

Abstract

Background: The abdomen is the frequent site of operations in general surgery; consequently, incision and suturing of the abdominal wall is a very important aspect of surgery. Conventionally, the midline incision of a laparotomy wound is closed in various layers anatomically. However, a newer method called the mass closure technique is increasingly being utilized for its advantages. Aim and Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of midline abdominal surgeries using mass closures and layered closure techniques
