Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the effectiveness and cost of two temporary abdominal closure (TAC) methods—ABTHERA Negative Pressure Therapy and whipstitch suture closure (WC)—for managing open abdomen in trauma patients from 2015 to 2021.
- - A total of 112 patients were analyzed, with most experiencing blunt trauma; overall outcomes (like length of stay, complications) showed no significant differences between the two TAC methods.
- - The findings suggest that WC is a cost-effective TAC option, providing similar clinical outcomes compared to the more expensive ABTHERA system.
