 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 Obese patients with abdominal incision through the skin and subcutaneous fat in shallow suture Authors: SUN Qi-long, JIANG Jin-bo, Jin Zu-Tao [Abstract] Objective To improve the obese patients with abdominal incision suture technique. Approach to abdominal subcutaneous fat thicknessamp;gt; 2.5cm as the standard for obesity would be 241 cases of obesity were randomly divided into two groups (162 cases) and control group (79 cases). Observer Group abdominal incision of the skin and subcutaneous fat, shallow and placed with the interrupted suture through the suture method of drainage of drainage; the control group using traditional subcutaneous fat layer of the skin suture, or through the full thickness suture. To compare the two groups to observe the incision fat liquefaction, infection, dehiscence, and the incidence of complete healing after surgery incision time. Results The group of fat liquefaction, infection, subcutaneous fat layer in whole or in part of the incidence of dehiscence than in the control group was significantly lower (P amp;lt;0.01); wound healing time was significantly shorter (P amp;lt;0.01). Conclusion In obese abdominal incision suture when the suture through the skin and superficial subcutaneous fat at the same time increase drainage method of drainage is an effective method of prevention of suture fat liquefaction. This method is easy to operate, save time.

Two hundred and forty-one cases were divided into two groups randomly, observed group and control group. The suture with suturing superficial subcutaneous fat and putting two rubber drainages in the incision in observed group was applied to 162 cases. The conventional suture
