THE INFLUENCE OF THE ONCOLOGICAL PROCESS ON THE MECHANICAL STRENGTH OF THE POSTOPERATIVE SCAR OF THE LAPAROTOMY WOUND

The aim - to examine mechanical strength of the postoperative scar of the laparotomy wound depending on the stage of oncological process at various terms after surgery performed. Examined 194 physical bodies of deceased persons, according to the protocols of the pathological examination (in which the card numbers of the patients are indicated) and who underwent surgical intervention on the organs of the abdominal cavity. Summarizing the results of the study, it should be noted that on the 1st day after surgery, the mechanical strength of the postoperative scar of the laparotomy wound does not depend on the stage of the oncological process and the type of surgery performed, which proves that there is no significant difference in the above-mentioned study groups. Reduced mechanical strength of the postoperative scar was found in the main group on the 1st day of the study. Similar to the 1st day situation is seen on the 2nd and 3rd days of the research. This confirms the morphological experimental studies carried out earlier, which indicate that malignant neoplasm in the body considerably inhibits and slows down the processes of maturation of the granulation tissue. The study once again proves the negative influence of the presence of a malignant neoplasm on the mechanical strength of the postoperative scar of a laparotomy wound. Oncological process negatively affects the mechanical strength of the postoperative scar. Mechanical strength of the postoperative scar of the laparotomy wound is directly proportional to the stage of oncological process and the size of the tumor removed.
