Brief Answer:
Requires urgent medical evaluation and management

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Your fiance needs to be rushed to the hospital ER without any further delay. There can be a phenomenon called wound dehiscence that could have occurred. If that is the case, urgent medical attention would be required.

Let me know if I could help further.
