    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Techniques
    • Systems Analysis in Medicine

    Background:

    • Abdominal incision and closure are critical surgical procedures.
    • Minimizing surgical site infections remains a key challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To apply systems analysis and flow charting to abdominal incision and closure.
    • To evaluate an unconventional one-layer closure technique for the abdominal aponeurosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized systems analysis and flow charting to map surgical objectives and alternatives.
    • Selected and supported closure techniques based on established surgical literature.
    • Implemented a large bite monofilament continuous one-layer closure.

    Main Results:

    • Graphic display facilitated a clear visualization of procedural alternatives.
    • The chosen closure method integrates less common principles to mitigate infection risk.
    • Analysis of literature and past experience supported the selected approach.

    Conclusions:

    • Systems analysis provides a robust framework for surgical procedure optimization.
    • The unconventional closure technique shows promise in minimizing abdominal wound infection.
    • Graphic display aids in focused decision-making and evidence-based surgical practice.
