However, increasing appreciation of the process from a biomolecular perspective
Abstract Wound healing has been investigated in 373 patients undergoing surgery for obstructive jaundice and 760 anicteric patients undergoing cholecystectomy. Reduced wound healing manifested by a higher frequency of wound dehiscence (3.2 per cent vs. 0.5 per cent) and incisional hernia (10.3 per c
