Globally, abdominal wound dehiscence varies from 0.4% to 3.5% with associated mortalities reaching up to 45% in the perioperative period. Redo surgical operations and infectious complications are the major risk factors for abdominal wound dehiscence, but also presence of low albumin, glucocorticoid use, chest infections, and emergency surgeries have been also implicated. Open abdomen has been employed in incidences of trauma where a second look operation may be necessary, loss of abdominal wall, sepsis after penetrating abdominal trauma, and in cases of severe secondary peritonitis and acute pancreatitis. Patients with open abdomen are at a risk of fistula formation, sepsis, and loss of abdominal domain due to lateral fascial retraction.
