Wound Dehiscence

Wound dehiscence occurs when a surgical incision or wound reopens after initially healing. This can happen due to factors like infection, strain on the wound, poor nutrition, or underlying health conditions. It may result inVisible opening of the wound edges, increased pain, swelling, or bleeding. Prompt medical attention is essential to prevent infection and promote proper healing. Treatment often involves wound cleaning, possible stitches or repare, and addressing any contributing factors to support recovery. Recognizing early signs and following your healthcare provider’s instructions can help reduce the risk of this complication.
