Abstract

In this paper we analyzed the impact of using of immunosuppressive therapy, patient sex and smoking on the occurrence of dehiscence of laparotomy. In our research we examined 362 operated patients in the Clinic for General Surgery in Nis in the period from April 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019. In our study 6 patients had complication-dehiscence of laparotomy and 356 patients did not have dehiscence of laparotomy. Of the total of 6 patients with dehiscence of laparotomy, 4 patients were male or 66.6% and 2 patients were female or 33.3%. In our study is no statistically significant relationship between dehiscence of laparotomy and using of immunosuppressive therapy there is statistically significant association between dehiscence of laparotomy and patient sex and smoking.
