Open Abdomen

Abstract

The most studied topics in basic research about open abdomen are the immunological modifications caused by negative pressure therapy, the distribution of negative pressure in the abdominal cavity, its effects on bowel surface, and the development of means to protect intestinal anastomosis in these situations.
