Abstract
Midline incisions has advantage of rapid and wide access to the abdominal cavity with minimal damage to muscles, nerves, and the vascular supply of the abdominal wall, hence causing minimal long-term morbidity.1 However, wound complications after any laparotomy increases burden on resources of the health care system. 2 Wound complications after laparotomy include surgical site infection, stitch abscess, incisional hernia, wound dehiscence, evisceration.1 Wound infection and wound dehiscence after laparotomy are likely to be followed by incisional hernia within months or perhaps a few years.
