    Author: Johnson CM.
    Journal: Medsurg Nurs; 2009; 18(2):96-102. PubMed ID: 19489207.
    Abstract:
    Abdominal wound dehiscence is associated with prolonged hospitalization, high morbidity and mortality rates, an increase in health care costs, and risk of further surgery. A case of wound dehiscence in a patient following major abdominal surgery is reviewed and a framework for understanding wound complication as a challenge to nursing care is provided.
