<unk>  is most commonly seen in patients undergoing surgical treatment. The incidence and prevalence of<unk>  varies with the type of surgery performed. Patients with large incisions are at a relatively higher risk of developing<unk>  as compared to patients undergoing minor surgical procedures with small incisions. The incidence of<unk>  in patients undergoing laparotomy is approximately 9,000 per 100,000 cases worldwide, which is more common compared to other surgeries. The prevalence of<unk>  is not precisely known. However, it is estimated that that around 10 percent (10,000 per 100,000) of the people undergoing surgical procedures develop<unk>  that lasts longer than three days. Postoperative<unk>  has been present in 15% of patients who had partial bowel resection, based on one study. Patients of all age groups may develop<unk>  but it is more commonly seen in the elderly due to underlying comorbidities. There is no racial predisposition for<unk>  and both men and women are affected equally.
