Summary

The primary purpose of the study is to determine whether two vacuum-wound-dressing techniques (the so called "abdominal dressing" versus "vacuum-pack-technique") are equally effective in the treatment of open abdomen.

Secondary purpose is the comparison of feasibility and economic aspects.

Conditions

  • Open Abdomen
  • Temporary Abdominal Closure

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Vacuum-Pack-technique for temporary abdominal closure

Negative-pressure-wound-therapy applying a method described by Brock, Barker et al 1995: "Temporary Closure of Open Abdominal Wounds - the Vacuum Pack" (see citations).

PROCEDURE

Abdominal-dressing-technique for temporary abdominal closure

Negative-pressure-wound-therapy for temporary abdominal closure applying a device of KCI International (V.A.C.® Abdominal Dressing System). see: http://www.kci-medical.com/kci/corporate/kcitherapies/vactherapy/dressings/abdominal/#
