Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed ten years of experience with open abdomen techniques in trauma surgery, comparing a dual closure method called vacuum-assisted, mesh-mediated fascial traction (VAMMFT) to the traditional Bogota Bag (BB) method.
- - Of 348 patients needing open abdomen management, VAMMFT had a higher closure success rate (73%) compared to BB (54.9%), but both methods had no significant differences in complications like fistulation.
- - VAMMFT was found to be an effective and safe approach, leading to better closure rates while maintaining a low rate of complications, although failures were attributed mainly to supply issues and protocol violations.
