Surgical wound dehiscence: a conceptual framework for patient assessment

Journal of Wound Care, 2018
This paper presents a conceptual framework which outlines the risk factors associated with surgical wound dehiscence (SWD) as identified in the literature. The purpose for the development of the conceptual framework was to derive an evidence-based, informed understanding of factors associated with SWD, in order to inform a programme of research on the

Superficial wound dehiscence after median sternotomy: surgical treatment versus secondary wound healing

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2004
Superficial wound dehiscence after midline sternotomy is considered a minor complication in cardiac surgery, although it is quite frequent and requires prolonged medical treatment. It can be managed conventionally by topical treatment, with delayed secondary healing, or by surgical treatment and primary skin closure.

Preventing and Managing Surgical Wound Dehiscence

Advances in Skin & Wound Care, 2004
Most surgical wounds heal uneventfully--the dehisced surgical incision is definitely the exception to the rule. However, management of a dehisced incision is a fairly common home care challenge that must be understood. This month's column answers the questions: Why do some incisions dehisce, and what, if anything, can be done to prevent dehiscence? Are
