Abstract: | Abdominal dehiscence reported to occur with a frequency of one per cent even under the best circumstances, is a dreaded complication. Closure of the dehisced abdominal wall under adverse conditions like local infection and wound edge retraction may be difficult. We describe a new technique which is a modification of classical retention sutures for the abdominal wall closure. |
