Abstract

From a historical perspective, the open abdomen (OA; syn. abdomen apertum, laparostoma, temporary abdominal closure [TAC]) is a form of treatment in pediatric surgery that emerged with the development of methods to temporarily expand as well as reconstruct the abdominal wall within the framework of operative care for inborn abdominal wall defects [1–3]. It is in the context of abdominal wall approximation and adaptation that gastroschisis and omphalocele are still considered prototypes for diseases often leading to a predisposition for intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) [4–6].
