Aim: The management of open abdomen with enteroatmospheric fistula is a real nightmare for surgeons; negative pressure with fluid instillation is affordable and effective. After improvement of general conditions, a good strategy for promoting tissue granulation around the fistula could be the application of a matrix wound dressing.
Materials And Methods: A 45-year-old man was admitted to our Emergency Department for abdominal compartment syndrome following a previous intervention for bowel occlusion; at exploration we found a frozen abdomen that was managed by negative pressure wound therapy with fluid instillation (AbThera device, VAC Instill , 3M+KCI).
