Abstract:
This case report illustrates that the continuous removal of inflammatory exudates from the abdomen might be a key factor in the treatment of septic shock in patients with an open abdomen. The vacuum assisted wound closure with mesh mediated traction technique has clearly proven his feasibility when it comes to closing rate of the abdomen. However, up to this moment, there is little evidence about the effect of continuous removal of inflammatory as cites on the septic status of the patient.
