Influence of intra-abdominal hypertension on the strength of the postoperative laparotomic wound scars.

Abstract

One of the main factors of postoperative eventration is intra-abdominal hypertension, which occurs in various surgical pathologies of the abdominal cavity. Despite the presence of a large number of scientific papers on the negative effect of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) on the morphological state of granulation tissue in the area of the laparotomy wound, there are no publications on the effect on the strength of the postoperative scar. The aim of the study. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate in an experiment on small laboratory animals the effect of IAH on the mechanical strength of the postoperative scar of a laparotomy wound.
