Abstract

Appropriate wound healing is a crucial phase of surgical patients' management, as it facilitates early mobilization and return to everyday life. Also, it is required before offering patients the next phase of treatment. Surgical wound closure techniques have evolved remarkably; they include simple sutures, surgical clips, and adhesive compounds. Some appliances are used to support the closed surgical wounds and assist the abdominal wall muscles' movements; however, they may make breathing uncomfortable or cause pain. Here, we introduce a novel, effective technique that facilitates appropriate surgical wound healing. Dynamic kinesiotherapy is an easy procedure to perform, handy, beneficial, safe, and cost-effective.
