Study Summary
Approximately 500,000 surgical site infections occur annually in the US. These lead to worse patient quality of life, more outpatient and emergency room visits, readmissions and home services, with an estimated increase in costs of at least $3500 per complication. Surgical site infections are associated with increasing body mass index. There is limited and conflicting data of the utility of multiple surgical interventions to decrease the risk of surgical site complications. The investigators explored the effect of a prospective care pathway for closure of vertical abdominal wounds on patient's wound complications.
Primary Outcome
The primary outcome for our study was a wound complication within eight weeks of laparotomy. Wound complication was defined as seroma, hematoma, separation, or infection requiring additional medical and/or surgical management within eight weeks of laparotomy.
