Temporary Abdominal Closure

Temporary Abdominal Closure is a surgical technique used in damage control surgery and emergency laparotomy that belongs to the class of abdominal wall management strategies, distinguished by its provisional approximation of the fascia or abdominal contents to permit ongoing visceral resuscitation, reduce abdominal wall tension, and facilitate planned reoperations while preventing evisceration and minimizing contamination.
