Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the outcomes of High-volume saline irrigation vs Povidone-iodine solution cleaning of the intraoperative incision wound in preventing superficial surgical site infections in patients undergoing emergency laparotomies. The main question it aims to answer are:

  • Incidence of SSI after intervention
  • Length of hospital stay

Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups receiving either of the two groups:

Group A: 1000ml of IOWI with saline solution prior to incision closure Group B: The incisional wound will be closed conventionally without irrigation.

Researchers will compare groups A( experimental group) and B (control group) to compare the incidence of superficial surgical site infections after intervention.
