Use of chorioamniotic membrane instead of bogota bag in open abdomen: How I Do It?

Abstract: I t i s o n e o f t h e m o s t i m p o r t a n t p r o b l e m s f o rgeneral surgeons to decide which operation should be undertaken on patients with intra-abdominal infection, especially those with concomitant abdominal hypertension. Recentlly, closure techniques using prosthetic meshes in order to retain abdominal tension and to control sepsis have become very popular for patients with abdominal sepsis and hypertension. We used chorioamniotic membrane instead of plastic material to cover the open abdomen. … Show more

“…As previously mentioned, amniotic membrane derivatives have been used for decades as wound dressings for skin burns [85], chronic ulcers of arterial, venous, or diabetic origin [86], in abdominal wall [87] and dural defects [88] and in corneal injuries (traumatic or chemical) [52]. The benefit provided was a mechanical protection, in association with antifibrogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties.…”

“…Human amniotic membrane (HAM) has been used in a variety of surgical procedures. First employed in skin transplantation by (Davis 1910 ), HAM was subsequently found to be useful as a biological wound dressing for burns (Ramakrishnan and Jayaraman 1997 ; Branski et al 2008 ), acute (Tekin et al 2008 ) and chronic wounds (Gajiwala and Lobo 2003 ; Insausti et al 2010 ), and in the reconstruction of the dura mater (Tomita et al 2012 ; De Weerd et al 2013 ), oral cavity (Lawson 1985 ), vaginal vault (Ashworth et al 1986 ), tendons (Ozbölük et al 2010 ) and nerves (O’Neill et al 2009 ). HAM has also long been used in ophthalmic surgery, the earliest reported application being in 1940 when De Rötth used fetal membranes to correct symblepharon (De Rötth 1940 ).…”
