Abstract


Background: This study is conducted to compare the absorbable with non absorbable sutures in wound dehiscence after closure of Laparotomy incisions

Methods: This randomized control trial was conducted in the department of general surgery, Dr PDMMC Amravati, Maharashtra in 1 year duration from January 2018 to January 2019. Mean was calculated for numerical data like age and Body Mass Index categorical data like gender, Anemia etc effect modification or association of outcome variables with effect modifiers.

Results: In this study, a total number of 100 patients were included, divided into two equal groups, 50 in each i.e. group Prolene and group Vicryl. In our study, wound dehiscence occurred in 3 cases in whom Prolene was used whereas 10 cases had wound dehiscence with the use of Vicryl suture. Vicryl was followed by significantly higher incidence of wound dehiscence than closure by Prolene

Conclusions: Observation of our study concluded that non absorbable Prolene has better outcome and less wound dehiscence and other complication as compared to absorbable Vicryl suture.
