Management of the open abdomen using vacuum-assisted wound closure and mesh-mediated fascial traction

Abstract: Regardless of the underlying pathology, high fascial closure rates can be achieved using a combination of vacuum-assisted closure and mesh-mediated fascial traction.

“…The technique was thereafter prospectively evaluated in a multicentre study [3] with high fascial closure rates and few technique-specific complications. VAWCM is technically easy to perform, and several reports from other centres using the technique have later been published showing similar results [4][5][6][7]. Other techniques combining VAWC and fascial traction have been described and evaluated [8][9][10][11].…”

“…Sin embargo, es difícil demostrar científicamente tales afirmaciones. Debido a la gran heterogeneidad de las poblaciones estudiadas y las diferencias metodológicas en el diseño de los distintos estudios 18,19 , resulta dificultoso precisar las ventajas y limitaciones de cada uno de los métodos de CAT más frecuentemente utilizados 4,6,9,10,19 . En este contexto, la aplicación combinada de vacío y malla protésica 6 , aun dentro de un marco de evidencia débil, está siendo mayormente aceptada.…”

“…Es un método eficaz, de simple ejecución, que permite un rápido acceso a la cavidad abdominal [91][92][93][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][106][107][108][111][112][113][114] . Además, algunas prótesis pueden quedar en el lugar del implante primario e incorporarse a los tejidos favoreciendo el cierre definitivo.…”
