Bratislavské lekárske listy 2002We performed 910 laparotomies in the years 1998-1999. Complete dehiscence of a laparotomy wound was observed in 18 cases. We compare the duration of postoperative bowel paralysis in patients with and without eventration. The statistical comparison of the two groups was performed with the Wilcoxon test, the level of significance was set to 5%. We have found that the duration of postoperative bowel paralysis was significantly longer in the group of patients with eventration. (Tab. 4, Ref. 5.).
