The regimen was well tolerated; there was only one treatment-related complication, a wounddehiscence.
2
Three patients suffered postoperative wounddehiscence and one patient had an infection that required reoperation.
3
Only one animal, from the tissue adhesive group, had a small abscess with wounddehiscence.
4
Eight patients experienced minor complications such as wounddehiscence or infection, which resolved with local measures and antibiotics.
5
Medical failures included infected devices and wounddehiscence, with the pattern averaging 4.5 months to explantation.
6
After adjusting these variables, longer duration before DSC does not seem to be a risk factor for surgical mortality, postoperative infection, or wounddehiscence.
7
Follow-up at day 30 will assess superficial and deep infection, and wounddehiscence (grade I-IV) and the core outcome data set for wound complications.
8
Early repair is associated with more wounddehiscences, however, without affecting long-term functional outcome.
9
Wound complications were defined as wound infection, wound separation greater than 1 cm, and wounddehiscence.
