Summary

Surgical site infection is a frequent complication after abdominal surgery. The wound closure is done at the end of the procedure when the attention of the entire team may be affected because of tiredness and reduced attention of the surgical team.

With this study, the investigators aim to test if an exchange of the surgical team by a specialised wound closure team may reduce the impact of surgical site infection.
