Table 3. Distribution of surgical site infection between groups.

Data are presented as number (%). P=0.349 for the overall distribution of infection severity between groups (Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact test). A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Surgical site infection	Transfascial (n=25)	Conventional open (n=25)	Total (n=50)
Deep infection	0 (0.0%)	2 (8.0%)	2 (4.0%)
Superficial infection	1 (4.0%)	1 (4.0%)	2 (4.0%)
No infection	24 (96.0%)	22 (88.0%)	46 (92.0%)
Total	25 (100%)	25 (100%)	50 (100%)
