Burst abdomen, abdominal wound dehiscence, dehiscence of fascial layers is a postoperative complication and the reported mortality rate is about as high as 45%. Incidence of dehiscence as described in literature ranges from 0.4%-3.5%. No specific single cause is one reason for all wound disruption.
