Abdominal Wall Sinus and Recurrent Abscess Formation Due to a Foreign Body Following Surgical Intervention.

The sinus tract, a tubular structure with no outlet connecting deep tissues to the skin, is a rare entity, especially in patients undergoing abdominal surgeries. The pathophysiology involves factors such as liquefaction of adipose tissue, infection, and retention of foreign bodies. Inadequate surgical drainage can lead to chronicity, culminating in the formation of an infectious sinus in the abdominal wall, clinically known as a sinus.
