Background: Malnourishment is the scourge of the developing countries like India. Nutrition is important in many physiological processes like wound healing. In patients posted for surgery, their nutritional status plays an important part in the post operative wound healing and prevention of complications like wound gaping and leakage from anastomosis. In this study we try to establish the relation between four nutritional indices and their effect on the postoperative wound healing and there by the duration of hospital stay. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To study the nutritional factors affecting wound healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective study was conducted by selection of random 50 cases posted for major elective surgery during the period from Apr 2021 to Sep 2022. CONCLUSION : From our study it can be fairly concluded that the preoperative nutritional status of the patient has a major impact on the post operative wound healing. A poor pre operative status predisposes to many complications like wound gaping and leak.
