A Randomized Trial Analyzing The Effects of Primary Versus Delayed Primary Closure of Incision On Wound Healing in Patients With Hollow Viscus Perforation by Abhishek Soham Satpathy is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study compares the effects of primary closure (PC) and delayed primary closure (DPC) on wound healing in patients with hollow viscus perforation. The results indicate that DPC significantly reduces the incidence of superficial surgical site infections (SSSI) compared to PC (7.4% vs 42.9%), but does not significantly affect the length of hospital stay. The findings suggest that while DPC may reduce SSSI, the time required for wounds to be suitable for closure raises questions about its overall advantage
