The present study indicates the need for close scrutiny of the immune and nutritional status of patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Simple anthropometric measurements (weight and triceps skin fold thickness MAC) serologic testing (serum albumin), ALC, and skin testing are useful to identify patients with immunocompromise caused by nutritional deficiency. Early recognition and correction of immune nutritional deficits in patients undergoing abdominal surgery should lead to reduction in postoperative morbidity due to wound complication.
