Overview

Observational study compares surgical site infection in peritonitis patients using closed versus open wound methods, indicating significant differences.

Key Points

  • Frequency of surgical site infection was significantly lower in the closed wound with drain group compared to the open wound group.
  • In the closed wound with drain group, the frequency of infection was 10%, while it was 20.83% in the open skin technique group.
  • This study included 240 patients with peritonitis who underwent laparotomy at a military hospital.
  • Results suggest that using a subcutaneous drain may help reduce the risk of surgical site infections.
