Article Synopsis
- Temporary abdominal closure (TAC) is used in critically ill oncological patients to manage severe abdominal issues and protect abdominal contents, with a focus on minimizing damage during surgery.*
-
- A study of 47 patients revealed they mostly had gastrointestinal tumors, were generally in poor health, and had high rates of emergency surgical complications, particularly from fecal peritonitis.*
-
- Only a small number of patients (14.8%) achieved successful abdominal closure, and the in-hospital mortality rate was alarmingly high at 85.2%, indicating TAC's high-risk nature in this patient group.*
