What are the Causes of Dehiscence in Pediatric Patients?
Several factors can lead to dehiscence in children, including:
Infection: Infections can weaken the integrity of the wound, leading to separation. Poor Nutritional Status: Malnutrition can impair wound healing. Mechanical Stress: Excessive movement or pressure on the wound can cause it to reopen. Medical Conditions: Conditions like diabetes or immune deficiencies can slow down the healing process. Surgical Technique: Inadequate surgical techniques can also contribute to dehiscence.
