Wound dehiscence in urological patients.

The causes of wound dehiscence in urological patients are discussed. In 576 patients undergoing 672 consecutive transperitoneal urological operations there were 9 instances of complete dehiscence (1.3%). All 9 cases involved male patients. Postoperative abdominal distnsion, wound infection, enterocutaneous fistula and simple layered closure with chromic catgut were associated with an increased incidence of dehiscence.
