Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Wound dehiscence is one among the most dreaded complications faced by the surgeons. By definition, dehiscence is the separation of fascial layers early in the postoperative course.Wound dehiscence is described as partial or complete disruption of an abdominal wound closure with or without protrusion and evisceration of abdominal contents. Dehiscence of wound occurs before cutaneous healing.1 Wound dehiscence is a very serious postoperative complication associated with high mortality and morbidity. It has significant impact on health care cost, both for patients and hospitals. Prolonged hospital stay, high incidence of incisional hernia, and subsequent reoperations underline the severity of this complication.Conditions associated with increased risk of wound dehiscence are anaemia, hypoalbuminemia, malnutrition, malignancy, jaundice, obesity and diabetes, male gender, elderly patients and specific surgical procedures as colon surgery or emergency laparotomy which are associated with wound disruption.we prospectively analysed various risk factors and managment in 30 patients with abdominal wound dehiscence in Siddhartha Medical College,Vijayawada.
