Open versus Closed Management of the Abdomen in the Surgical Treatment of Severe Secondary Peritonitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Abstract: This randomized study from a single institution demonstrates that closed management of the abdomen may be a more rational approach after operative treatment of SSP and questions the recent enthusiasm for the open alternative, which has been based on observational studies.

“…But desire of achieving this goal with a single operation, is not always possible. 15 In 1909 Notzel conceptualized peritoneal lavage and adequate intervention known as "source control" but mortality rate remained up to 60-90%. 16 Kirschner in 1926 presented an impressive study of 5468 patients and introduced basic principles of surgery in intra-abdominal infections: (i) elimination of the septic foci, (ii) removal of necrotic tissue, and (iii) drainage of purulent material that brought mortality to 50%.…”

“…Despite advances in antibiotics therapy and intensive care support, mortality and morbidity remain high [2] . In certain cases of severe peritonitis, the surgeon may feel that a further look is required to achieve these goals [1] . This can be achieved by leaving the abdomen open at the index operation [3] .…”

“…Even if little evidence exists, damage control surgery is employed in a wide range of abdominal emergencies and may be an increasingly recognized life-saving strategy in emergency surgery performed on physiologically deranged patients [119]. However, the role of the OA in the management of severe peritonitis is still being debated [120]. Robledo et al.…”
