Area of Science:

Surgical critical care
Abdominal trauma management

Background:

Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) negatively impacts patient outcomes.
Knowledge of temporary abdominal closure (TAC) techniques is expanding.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the role and techniques of TAC in managing ACS.
To highlight the benefits of negative suction dressings in TAC.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature and clinical practices regarding TAC for ACS.
Description of preferred TAC technique using negative suction dressing.

Main Results:

TAC can be used prophylactically or therapeutically for ACS.
Negative suction dressings protect fascial edges, collect fluid, and reduce contamination.
Early closure attempts facilitate patient recovery.

Conclusions:

TAC is a valuable strategy in managing ACS.
Negative suction dressings represent a preferred method for TAC.
Prompt closure following TAC promotes better patient outcomes.
