Vertical mesh-mediated fascial traction is associated with higher fascial closure rates than vacuum-assisted wound closure with mesh-mediated traction in open abdomen therapy
Nature ·
The Brief
- A study reports that vertical mesh-mediated fascial traction is associated with higher fascial closure rates than vacuum-assisted wound closure with mesh-mediated traction in open abdomen therapy.

Why it matters
Open abdomen management is a clinical problem where achieving fascial closure matters for patient outcomes, so a comparison of two traction techniques is relevant to surgeons and researchers in this area.
