Abstract :

<p> Wound Dehiscence is premature "bursting" open of a wound along surgical suture. Our study is the study of Significant risk factors for the development of post operative Wound dehiscence. Methodology : Patient factors like older age group, male sex, anaemia , malnutrition, obesity, peritonitis due to bowel perforation, intestinal obstruction, those who undergone operation in emergency and those who have undergone perforation closure, resection and anastamosis and associated medical conditions like jaundice, renal failure, uremia, diabetes, other immunosuppressive conditions are studied. Surgeon factors like midline incisions, improper suture technique and improper aseptic precautions which may lead to wound infection and then wound dehiscence. Results wound dehiscence is significantly affected by above mentioned factors can be prevented by improving the nutritional status of the patient, strict aseptic precautions, avoiding midline incisions, improving patients respiratory pathology to avoid postoperative cough and by proper surgical technique.</p>
