STUDY OF PREDICTORS FOR POST LAPAROTOMY WOUND DEHISCENCE

Abstract

Introduction: Dehiscence occurs when wound margins that were previously closed come 
apart either partially or completely, which is often caused by inadequate wound healing. The 
same factors that can contribute to poor wound healing, including ischemia, infection, 
elevated abdominal pressure, diabetes, malnutrition, smoking, and obesity, can also increase 
the risk of dehiscence.
