Comparison of Interrupted Suturing Versus Continuous Suturing in Laparotomy Wound Closed.
Sponsor: Muhammad Aamir Latif
Summary
Emergency laparotomy is associated with high morbidity, particularly due to wound dehiscence and infection. Choosing an optimal suturing technique can significantly impact patient outcomes, but data on the comparison of interrupted suturing with continuous suturing in emergency settings is limited. Therefore, the current study was planned, aiming to compare the outcome of emergency laparotomy wounds closed by interrupted suturing versus continuous suturing.
Official title: Comparison of Outcome of Emergency Laparotomy Wound Closed by Interrupted Suturing Versus Continuous Suturing.
