Abstract : Laparotomy is a surgical operation that is rather common in Indonesia and elsewhere. The incidence of complications and mortality associated with laparotomy was also elevated. One explanation is the body mass index, in conjunction with other predisposing variables. Body Mass Index also influences the duration of the wound healing process. The duration of patient hospitalization post-surgery will be influenced by the wound healing process. This study aimed to ascertain the distribution of body mass index and the duration of postoperative hospitalization following laparotomy in the surgical ward of Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang, as well as the correlation between body mass index and extended inpatient stays post-laparotomy in the same surgical ward. The research was observational and analytical. The study samples comprised all post-laparotomy patients from the surgical ward at RSUP Dr. M Djamil Padang, collected between August and December 2015, utilizing direct physical examination. A total of 41 patients met the requirements for the samples. The results were organized into a frequency table. The results indicated that 41 patients had a mean body mass index of 18.73 ± 2.98. Mean Length of Stay: 9.80 ± 4.92. The connection between body mass index and length of stay in post-laparotomy surgery patients is r=-0.232 and p=0.139, indicating a poor correlation between the two variables.

Keywords : Laparotomy; Body Mass Index; Length of Stay.
