Open abdomen and age; results from IROA (International Register of Open Abdomen)
American Journal of Surgery, 2020No definitive data exist regarding epidemiology and outcomes of patients treated with open abdomen (OA) linked to age.This is a prospective, observational, cohort study that includes patients treated with OA. Patients were divided into 4 age groups: group 1: 16-40 y.o.; group 2: 41-60 y.o.; group 3:61-80 y.o.; group 4:> 80 y.o.760 patients were ...

Management of the Open Abdomen
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2014The open abdomen has become the standard of care in damage-control procedures, the management of intra-abdominal hypertension, and in severe intra-abdominal sepsis. This approach has saved many lives but has also created new problems, such as severe fluid and protein loss, nutritional problems, enteroatmospheric fistulas, fascial retraction with loss ...

Non-closure of abdominal fascia and the resultant open abdomen after laparotomy has become a major advance in the management of critically ill or injured patients. The benefits of open abdomen are many and include the prevention of intra-abdominal hypertension and the consequent abdominal compartment syndrome.

Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, 2006
The management of patients with an open abdomen is challenging. Control of intra-abdominal fluid secretion, facilitation of abdominal exploration and preservation of fascia for abdominal wall closure can test even the most experienced surgeon. Over the years various techniques have been tried to minimise complications and expedite closure with VAC ...

Open abdomen in liver transplantation
The American Journal of Surgery, 2018Damage control laparotomy with vacuum assisted closure (VAC) is used for selective cases in trauma. In liver transplantation, VAC has also been applied for management of intra-operative hemorrhage. The primary objective was to evaluate peri-operative blood loss and blood product utilization in VAC compared to primary abdominal closure (PAC) at the ...

Nutrition and the Open Abdomen
Nutrition in Clinical Practice, 2012Adequate nutrition support is critical in the management of patients with an open abdomen. Despite the literature supporting its use in trauma patients, provider concerns and clinical controversies remain regarding the early administration and long‐term sequelae of enteral nutrition (EN) therapy in these patients.

Damage-control surgery with open abdomen (OA) is described for trauma, but little exists regarding use in the emergency general surgery. This study aimed to better define the following: demographics, indications for surgery and OA, fascial and surgical site complications, and in-hospital/long-term mortality. We hypothesize that older patients will have
