Grafted unhealing leg wound opened up after 12 years. Is it varicose veins?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Wound dehiscence occurs when surgical wound closures reopen instead of proper healing. Reasons or people who are at high risk for wound dehiscence are as follows: Patients with a weak immune system or those people who are malnourished, it can also be due to underlying chronic medical illness such as diabetes mellitus, smoking, obesity, premature post-surgery exercise and because of heavy lifting. I would suggest you to see a doctor without delay for the proper care of your wound healing and do all the necessary test to rule out any underlying systemic illness. The risk of dehiscence increases with over tightening of sutures, poor suturing technique, inappropriate surgery site and the suturing material used. I hope this helps. Thank you and take care. Regards.
