    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Delayed primary closure (DPC) of surgical wounds significantly reduces infection rates compared to primary closure (PC). This method offers better outcomes for patients without increasing hospital stay duration.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical site infection prevention
    • Wound healing outcomes
    • Clinical trial methodology

    Background:

    • Superficial surgical site infection (SSI) rates are a concern in wound management.
    • Delayed primary closure (DPC) shows promise in reducing SSIs compared to primary closure (PC).
    • PC is often preferred due to surgeon preference for avoiding a second procedure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the frequency of wound infection between primary closure (PC) and delayed primary closure (DPC) after laparotomy for peritonitis.
    • To evaluate the duration of hospitalization for patients undergoing PC versus DPC.

    Main Methods:

    • A randomized controlled trial involving 70 patients.
    • Group A: 35 patients underwent primary closure (PC).
    • Group B: 35 patients underwent delayed primary closure (DPC).
    • Outcomes measured: wound infection frequency and duration of hospital stay.

    Main Results:

    • Wound infection occurred in 51.43% of patients in the PC group versus 25.71% in the DPC group (p=0.027).
    • Mean hospital stay was 7.03 days for PC and 6.34 days for DPC (p=0.372).
    • Delayed primary closure demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in wound infection rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Delayed primary closure (DPC) is a superior technique for surgical wounds compared to primary closure (PC).
    • DPC effectively decreases the frequency of wound infections.
    • This benefit is achieved without a significant increase in the duration of hospital stay.
