Laparotomy wound disruption, in spite of being a quite avoidable complication, the result of a technical mishap, as it is, still carries a significantly high morbidity and mortality. A group of 648 major laparotomies, with no dehiscences, is compared with another one of 1154, with 39 disruptions, the most significant differences residing on the technical type of closure.
