Study of Impact of Tobacco Smoking on Wound Healing in Abdominal Surgery
Dr. Ayushi Sharma, Dr. Gambheer Singh, Dr. Mayank Devangan
Abstract: This study investigates the effect of tobacco use on wound healing in patients undergoing abdominal surgeries. Conducted at the Department of Surgery of Raipur Institute of Medical Sciences, the research included 240 patients, equally divided between tobacco users and non-users. Key metrics for wound healing, such as granulation tissue appearance, wound length reduction, and healing time, were analyzed. The findings revealed that smokers experienced delayed granulation tissue formation, slower wound healing, and a higher incidence of complications, including surgical site infections and the need for additional surgical interventions. These results underscore the detrimental impact of tobacco on post-operative wound recovery and support the importance of smoking cessation to optimize surgical healing outcomes.
