Outcomes of High-volume Saline Irrigation VS Povidone-Iodine Solution Cleaning of IOWI in Preventing SSIs in Emergency Laparotomies

During emergency laparotomy, after the primary surgical procedure. the sheath will be sutured and the incision site will then be irrigated with three rounds of 1 liter of 0.9% saline solution, which will be completely aspirated before the closure of the incisional wound in experimental group.
