Introduction: The complications of surgical wounds (esp. wound infections) are considered as a major problem in surgery wards. Complications of surgical wounds are classified as early and late complications. Among common and early complications are hematoma , seruma and wound infection. In the recent years, the modern technology esp. Laparoscopic intervention has brought huge developments to general and specific surgical operations. Material and Method: This study was carried out on 210 bedridden patients operated in Milad Hospital during a period from 82 -84. Patients were classified into two groups: group A (106 patients) and group B (104 patients) were respectively operated by open surgery and laparoscopy. Patients became candidate for the two methods on a randomized basis and the statistical test of this research has been proportional test and it was carried out in experimental method and in the form of clinical trial. Results: Out of 210 patients there were 130 female and 80 male patients. The rate of relative frequency of early complications were 8 and 1 respectively among 106 patients having undergone open surgical operations and 104 patients having undergone laparoscopic operations (P<0.05) Conclusion: This study proves that there are fewer early complications of surgical wounds under laparoscopic method as compared to open surgery. In the laparoscopic method against open method, tissue damage is smaller so there will be smaller dissection and since vascular damage is smaller, early complications will have smaller rates of occurence.
