“…TAC has proven its value in improving survival, as well as short-term pulmonary, renal, and infectious outcomes when used in the surgical management of ACS, abdominal trauma, necrotizing pancreatitis, intra-abdominal sepsis, and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Longterm complications after TAC have received relatively little attention. This study was undertaken to determine the incidence of abdominal wall hernia formation and intestinal obstruction in patients who have survived TAC, undergone definitive abdominal closure, and been followed up for at least 6 months postoperatively.…”

“…The ICU was used by four (57.14%) surviving patients, who stayed in intensive care for a mean of 9.75 days (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). In the group of patients who died, six (54.5%) had stayed in the ICU for 7.5 (1-20) days on average.…”

“…However, applying liver packing before coagulopathy or episodes of hypotension arise increases survival to over 75%. These authors recommend that the packing be applied in patients with no tolerance for blood loss or requiring more than 15 units of blood 9,10 . Hepatotomy by finger fracture applying the Lin technique can also be used.…”

“…The concepts central to damage-control laparotomy were described in the early 1980s and were shown to be effective and life saving in these patients. 1,2,[16][17][18][19] Frequently, the massive amounts of fluids and blood products required to resuscitate these patients, in addition to the staged approach to repair, preclude abdominal closure. Misguided attempts to close the abdomen may result in multisystem organ failure secondary to increased intraabdominal pressure.…”
