Failure in suture or ligature during surgical operation - what does this mean

Failure in suture or ligature during a surgical operation occurs when the sutures or ligatures used to close the incision are not properly secured or tied off, allowing the incision to reopen and the wound to become infected. this can lead to increased risk of infection, bleeding, and other postoperative complications.

What happens during the disease - failure in suture or ligature during surgical operation

The pathogenesis of failure in suture or ligature during surgical operations is due to a combination of factors, including inadequate tissue handling, incorrect suturing technique, and poor knot security. this can lead to a weakened sutured area, which can then lead to an increased risk of wound dehiscence or infection. additionally, inadequate tissue handling can lead to tissue necrosis, which can further increase the risk of infection.
