Win TS, Huget EL, Praseedom R, Jah A. Department of Surgery, Addenbrooke’s Hospital, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Poster Presentation: 4th World Conference Abdominal Compartment Syndrome, Dublin, Ireland, June 25-27, 2009.
Discussion:
We report a delayed abdominal closure using the technique of continuous dynamic traction following an initial damage control laparotomy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of this technique in the United Kingdom. Delayed abdominal closure using dynamic continuous traction results in gradual approximation of the tissues. It eliminates the need of prosthetic mesh, skin grafting and provides excellent cosmetic result. Adjustment of tissue traction at bedside minimizes the need for multiple operations.
