Double loop mass closure technique for abdominal incisions.

R L Burleson

    Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics
    |September 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Double loop mass closure transforms vertical abdominal incisions into physiologic ones, reducing stress. This technique in high-risk patients promotes wound healing without complications like hernias or infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical technique
    • Abdominal surgery
    • Wound healing

    Background:

    • Vertical abdominal incisions are common but can lead to complications.
    • Managing muscular stress in abdominal closures is crucial for preventing hernias and dehiscence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate the double loop mass closure technique for vertical abdominal incisions.
    • To assess the efficacy of this closure method in high-risk surgical patients.

    Main Methods:

    • The study employed a novel double loop mass closure technique for vertical abdominal incisions.
    • This method converts distracting muscular stress into an opposing force.
    • The technique was applied to a small series of high-risk patients.

    Main Results:

    • The double loop mass closure technique facilitated the healing of vertical abdominal incisions.
    • No instances of hernia, wound dehiscence, or invasive wound infection were observed post-closure.
    • The closure method proved effective in a high-risk patient cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Double loop mass closure is a promising technique for vertical abdominal incisions.
    • It effectively manages muscular stress, leading to successful wound healing without common complications.
    • This method offers a viable solution for high-risk patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
