Dynamic parietal closure: initial experience of an original parietal closure procedure for treatment of abdominal wound dehiscence.

摘要

Abdominal wound dehiscence complicates between 0.2% and 10% of midline laparotomies and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality (44% and 67%, respectively). The surgeons who perform digestive surgery and plastic surgery at our institution have considered how to treat abdominal wound dehiscence. Given that preoperative risk factors cannot be modified in an emergency setting, we added some specific plastic surgery procedures to the conventional parietal closure technique.
