Abstract EN
The open abdomen has become an important approach for critically ill patients who require emergent abdominal surgical interventions.
This treatment, originating from the concept of damage control surgery, was first applied in severe traumatic patients.
The ultimate goal is to achieve formal abdominal fascial closure by several attempts and adjuvant therapies (fluid management, nutritional support, skin grafting, etc.).
Up to the present, open abdomen therapy becomes matured and is multistage-approached in the management of patients with severe trauma.
However, its application in patients with intra-abdominal infection still presents great challenges due to critical complications and poor clinical outcomes.
This review focuses on the specific use of the open abdomen in such populations and detailedly introduces current concerns and advanced progress about this therapy.
