Abstract
OBJECTIVE
Proper assessment of intraoperative abdominal incisional tension helps to select the appropriate sutures and suture method. Wound tension is usually thought to be associated with wound size, but few relevant articles have been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the core factors influencing abdominal incisional tension and construct regression equations to judge incisional tension in clinical surgery.
METHODS
Medical records were collected from clinical surgical cases at the Teaching Animal Hospital of Nanjing Agricultural University from March 2022 to June 2022. The data collected mainly included the body weight, and the incisional length, margin, and tension. The core factors affecting abdominal wall incisional tension were screened by correlation analysis, random forest analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis.
RESULTS
Although correlation analysis showed that multiple same and deep layer abdominal incision parameters and body weight were significantly correlated with abdominal incisional tension. However, the same layer of abdominal incisional margin had the largest correlation coefficient. In random forest models, the abdominal incisional margin had the main contribution to the prediction of the same layer's abdominal incisional tension. In the multiple linear regression model, all incisional tension could be predicted by the same layer of abdominal incisional margin as the only independent variable, except for canine muscle and subcutaneous. The canine muscle and subcutaneous incisional tension were binary regressions with the same layer's abdominal incision margin and body weight.
CONCLUSION
The same layer's abdominal incisional margin is the core factor positively related to the abdominal incisional tension intraoperatively.
