title: Peeping thread from a laparotomy scar: Misery of an old man.
abstract: Despite availability of modern methods of various surgical techniques for treating complicated patients, there are still some unreported incidents in day to day practice where simple surgical procedure ends up in unwanted complications. This may be attributed sometimes to the negligence of treating doctors and sometime to the patient himself. We present here one such case where unnecessary morbidity added to the patient after surgery.
