All patients who underwent emergency midline laparotomy at the University Hospital Frankfurt in from 2022 till 2024 with either small-bite technique were included or combined small-and-large technique, which involves periodic internal reinforcement sutures. Propensity score matching was performed based on preoperative predictors of fascial dehiscence.

In descriptive statistics, fascial dehiscence was observed in 31 cases (10.5%); two cases (5.4%) in the group with combined small-and-large technique and 29 cases (11.3%) in the group with small-bite technique. After perfoming propensity score matching 29 cases were matched in each group, with one case of fascial dehiscence in the combined small-and-large technique versus 5 cases the small-bite technique group.
