Rapid management of surgical incisions that have separated or reopened. Healix360 brings physician-led mobile wound care directly to patients in Clark County — no commute, no waiting rooms. Most patients receive their first visit within 3–5 business days.
Wound dehiscence is the partial or complete separation of the layers of a surgical wound after it has been closed. It ranges from superficial dehiscence, involving only the skin and subcutaneous tissue, to full-thickness or fascial dehiscence, in which the deep fascial layer separates. The most severe form, evisceration, occurs when abdominal contents protrude through a completely separated wound and constitutes a surgical emergency. Dehiscence typically presents within 5 to 14 days of surgery, often heralded by a sudden gush of serosanguineous fluid.
Also known as: Surgical wound dehiscence, Wound separation, Wound breakdown, Incisional dehiscence, Fascial dehiscence, Burst abdomen.
Common signs and symptoms can vary by wound type and severity.
A clinician evaluates the wound together with the factors that may delay healing.
Seek immediate medical evaluation if a surgical incision separates, drains a sudden gush of pink or bloody fluid, or exposes deeper tissue. If abdominal contents protrude through the wound (evisceration), call 911, cover the area with sterile saline-moistened gauze, and do not attempt to push the tissue back — this is a surgical emergency.
Home visits are scheduled care, not emergency response. Severe or extensive burns, uncontrolled bleeding, rapidly worsening symptoms, confusion or difficulty breathing need urgent medical evaluation; call 911 for an emergency. A clinician must decide whether a wound can safely be managed at home.
Clark County is the Las Vegas valley — roughly 2.3 million residents packed into a bowl of desert ringed by mountains, and one of the fastest-aging metropolitan areas in the West as retirees continue to move in. The county's diabetes rate runs above the national average, and diabetic foot ulcers are the wound our clinicians treat most, alongside venous leg ulcers and pressure injuries in the valley's growing senior population. When a Clark County family calls Healix360, the concern is frequently a parent's wound that has stalled and a fear of driving them across the valley in punishing heat for another clinic appointment. Our licensed physicians and nurse practitioners see patients across the whole valley: central Las Vegas and the neighborhoods off the Strip; the master-planned western communities of Summerlin near Red Rock Canyon; Henderson and Green Valley in the southeast; North Las Vegas; the newer southwest-valley developments like Southern Highlands and Mountain's Edge; and the eastern valley out toward Boulder City and Lake Mead. From a Summerlin active-adult community to a Henderson townhome to a central Las Vegas apartment, we bring physician-led care to the door instead of asking a patient with an open wound to make the drive. Las Vegas is a diverse, international city, with large Spanish-speaking, Filipino, and Chinese communities across the valley. Tell our team your preferred language when requesting care so available interpreter arrangements can be discussed before the visit. Healix360 receives referrals from UCLA and Cedars-Sinai. This does not imply formal affiliation, partnership or endorsement. For a discharge from any hospital, ask your care team to provide the discharge instructions and relevant records; coordination, information sharing and visit timing must be arranged for the individual patient. Coverage depends on the patient's plan, benefits, medical necessity, authorizations and the treatment proposed. Medicare and commercial-plan rules can differ for visits, dressings and cellular tissue products. Ask for a benefits review and an explanation of possible out-of-pocket costs before treatment; coverage is not guaranteed. Our coordination line at 877-545-1300 is open 24/7. Call to arrange an assessment.
The Las Vegas valley combines a rapidly aging population, a diabetes rate above the national average, and a desert climate where summer temperatures routinely top 110 degrees — a combination that makes outpatient wound care genuinely hard on patients. Asking someone with a diabetic foot ulcer that must stay offloaded, or an elderly patient with a venous leg ulcer, to cross a blazing parking lot and drive across the valley every week is asking the treatment plan to fail. Home-based visits from licensed physicians and nurse practitioners keep the patient cool, resting, and protected while bringing clinician-directed wound care to the bedside — sharp debridement, infection surveillance, negative pressure wound therapy, multilayer compression, and cellular tissue products when clinically indicated — from Summerlin to Henderson to North Las Vegas.
Yes. Our clinicians see patients across Clark County — central Las Vegas, Summerlin, Henderson and Green Valley, North Las Vegas, the southwest valley, and out toward Boulder City. If your address is in an 890 or 891 ZIP code, we can likely see you; call to confirm.
The county's diabetes rate runs above the national average, so diabetic foot ulcers are our most common referral here. Limb preservation through debridement, offloading guidance, infection control, and advanced dressings is the core of what our clinicians do in the valley.
It affects clinic-based care more. Asking a patient with an open foot or leg wound to cross a parking lot when it is 110 degrees undermines healing and risks the wound. Home visits keep the patient cool, resting, and protected while the clinician comes to them.

Yes. Our clinicians routinely round at assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing communities throughout the valley, coordinating visit timing with facility staff.
