Abdominal Wall Dehiscence After Laparotomy Closure in Abdominal Surgery: a Retrospective Observational Study on the Influence of the Suture Used

In this retrospective longitudinal observational study we compare the incidence of fascial dehiscence and incisional hernia in patients operated via abdominal wall incision, comparing the barbed suture Stratafix Symmetric to other types of suture during closure of the abdominal wall. In addition, we plan to analize the impact of other risk factors, patient related and patient unrelated, on the incidence of fascial dehiscence.
