New wound-closing method may help high-risk surgery patients heal better

This study looked at a different way to close surgical cuts in the belly for women at high risk of wound problems after gynecologic surgery. Instead of leaving the wound open to heal, doctors partially closed it right after surgery and fully closed it 4-7 days later. The goal was to see if this method helps wounds stay closed and reduces infections, while also improving quality of life. The study was stopped early and included only 8 participants.
