<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-US">Volvulus is a special form of mechanical intestinal obstruction. It is most commonly seen in sigmoid colon. It results from abnormal twisting of a loop of bowel around the axis of its own mesentery. Small bowel volvulus (SBV) is a rare condition even though the incidence in Africa and Asia is high. It is of two types; primary and secondary. It requires emergency surgical intervention; more so as consuming time increases the risk of bowel getting gangrenous. Here is a case of primary small bowel volvulus in an elderly man with evidence of ischemic bowel and perforation who was managed surgically by resection and anastomosis.</span></p>

This prospective study used hypoalbuminemia as one of the indicator of nutritional status for patients who are admitted for elective or emergency surgery. It will be invaluable to have the predictors that can assess the complication before the operation procedure,so that deciet factors can be corrected in order to reduce wound healing complications (like wound infection,wound dehiscence and anastomotic leak). Effect of Hypoalbuminemia in wound healing and AIM: related complications in surgical patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS:This study conducted on patients admitted in surgery deparment of Dr. PDMMC & Hospital Amravati,for major elective or emergency surgery between 1Jan2021 to 30Aug2021 over 100 patients. Pati RESULT: ents with hypoalbuminemia are more tends to develop wound related complications than patients with normal albumin level. Serum albumin levels can be consider CONCLUSION: one of best predictor for wound related complication.
