A Comparative Study of Conventional Versus Mass Closure in Management of Generalized Peritonitis

Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2

Abstract

Introduction: Many of the operations performed by the general surgeons take place within the abdomen and consequently incision and suturing of the abdominal layers are the most common exercises in operative surgery. The present study is taken up to evaluate the advantages of mass closure in comparison with the conventional layered closure on the basis of operative time, healing time, and post-operative morbidity such as wound infection, burst abdomen, and incisional hernia. Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the techniques of mass closure and conventional layered closure of laparotomy wounds. Materials and Methods: This study includes 100 patients who were admitted to the Department of General Surgery, Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Warangal, during the period of June 2015–October 2017, for acute abdominal surgical problems needing emergency surgery. Stratified randomized sampling was done. The patients were chosen randomly, irrespective of their age, sex, and nature of disease. Results: The results of this study of 100 patients who underwent laparotomy for acute abdominal surgical problems at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Warangal.
