Prospective study evaluates surgical site infections in emergency versus elective exploratory laparotomy, indicating higher risks in emergencies.

Higher rate of surgical site infections was observed in emergency surgeries at 41.5% compared to 19.7% in elective procedures.
The emergency group had 80.5% male patients compared to 57.4% in the elective group, indicating significant demographic differences.
Conditions like intestinal perforation were more common in emergency surgeries, with a notable diagnosis difference across groups.
Findings highlight the need for enhanced preventive measures for surgical site infections, especially in emergency cases.
