retract the duodenum and pancreatic head medially. A major pitfall of this maneuver is injury to the right gonadal vein as it drains into the inferior vena cava.
The Cattell-Braasch Maneuver, also known as a right-sided medial visceral rota­tion, provides a panoramic view of the entire inframesocolic retroperitoneum. It is performed in three stages. First, a classic Kocher Maneuver is performed as previ­ously described. The incision is then extended caudally along the Line of Toldt to fully mobilize the ascending colon. Finally, the incision is extended around the cecum and along the posterior peritoneum to the Ligament of Treitz while retracting the bowel up and to the right. These extensions are referred to as the “Extended Kocher Maneuver” and the “Super-Extended Kocher Maneuver,” respectively. Care must be taken during this maneuver as the right colon will hang by its mesentery alone. A major pitfall would be avulsion of the right colic vein off the superior mes­enteric vein after an inadvertent pull.

Decision: Denitive Repair Versus Damage Control
Once the injuries have been identied and the surgeon knows the state of the patient, the decision can be made to proceed with denitive repair or to elect for damage control with stabilization and delayed denitive repair. If damage control is required, the goals of the initial surgery are to arrest hemorrhage, limit contamination, main­tain blood ow, and provide temporary abdominal closure. Operative time is limited to minimize further hypothermia, coagulopathy, and acidemia. Damage control pro­cedures vary based on the injury but can include resection of necrotic bowel leaving in discontinuity, shunting, and simple packing.
The indications for damage control surgery are evolving and varied [4, 1719]. General guidelines include the following:
• Severe Physiologic Insult
– Acidosis (pH <7.2 or Base Decit >15) – Hypothermia (Core Temperature <34°C) – Coagulopathy (INR >1.5 or Clinical Evidence) – Lactate >5 – Intraoperative Ventricular Arrhythmia
• Signicant Blood Loss
– Unable to Control Bleeding by Conventional Methods – Blood Loss >4L – Blood Transfusion >10U
• Signicant Injury Pattern
– Difcult to Assess Major Venous Injury – Major Liver or Pancreaticoduodenal Injury with Hemodynamic Instability

Temporary Abdominal Closure
There are numerous methods available to the surgeon electing to proceed with tem­porary abdominal closure during a damage control laparotomy. The most common include negative pressure wound therapy, patch closure, Wittmann patch, Bogota bag, and a skin-only closure. However, even with many options for temporary abdominal closure, the goal should still be closure of the abdomen as soon as safe and feasible. Diaz etal. showed a decreased rate of complications if the abdomen was closed in less than 8days [20].
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)
Over the past decade, NPWT has become the mainstream in many aspects of sur­gery. The NPWT closure provides temporary closure with an element of negative pressure. It helps with both the management of intrabdominal uid and lateral forces on the abdominal wall. While this has been shown to have improved rates of fascial closure by some studies, it does come at a signicantly increased cost [21]. It is becoming increasingly utilized and is now essentially available in one of two options.
The ABThera from KCI is commercially available. It is composed of an initial polyurethane foam covered with a lm which is placed intraperitoneally. This lm has perforations that allow uid to be extracted while also keeping the bowel from adhesion formation. A second oval foam is then placed extraperitoneal to the level of the skin where an occlusive drape and suction can be applied. Negative pressure is then generated between 100 and 150mmHg.
The other, less expensive option was rst described by Barker’s group [22]. It is similar to the ABThera VAC, but it is composed of materials already found within the operating room, thus limiting the cost. The rst layer uses a perforated nonad­herent polyethylene sheet which is placed between the peritoneum and visceral organs to prevent adhesions of the bowel. The perforations allow for reliable

evacuation of uid. Over the sheet, surgical towels or sponges are placed. Over these, drains are placed which give the ability to create the negative pressure. An adhesive dressing is then placed over the top to nish the seal.
365
Patch Closure
Many different options for use of a temporary abdominal closure have been described utilizing both permanent and absorbable mesh. Absorbable meshes are typically placed with the intent of allowing granulation tissue to form for a skin graft and eventual delayed ventral hernia repair. Non-absorbable meshes, however, can be used to help with serial approximation of the fascial edges. Both mesh options have reasonable delayed closure rates but non-absorbable have been quoted higher at almost 90% [23].
Wittmann Patch
When primary closure cannot be achieved in a timely manner, a Wittmann patch can be used. This is composed of two opposing sheets that, when pushed together, main­tain force against lateral shear, similar to Velcro. The sheets will be attached to fas­cial edges and tightened every 24–48 h until a primary fascial closure can be performed. Benets of the Wittmann patch are that it prevents loss of lateral abdom­inal domain; it is easily placed; and once the initial patch is in place, it requires no exchange of material, just serially tightening. Once the fascial edges are within a few centimeters, they can be closed primarily. This method can achieve primary closure in over 78%–100% of patients [24, 25].
Bogota Bag
Used in Bogota, Colombia for several decades, the Bogota Bag involves the use of hard intrabdominal plastic as a temporary layer. This was then described by Mattox after seeing its usage. The original description involved cutting a sterile IV bag into an oval shape and suturing or stapling it to the skin. Sterile moist towels would then be placed over it, followed by another iodine drape. While this allows for dressing changes to be performed at the bedside, which can be advantageous in certain clini­cal situations, it does not aid in preventing lateral abdominal wall retraction [26,
27]. Furthermore, the Bogota Bag is associated with higher rates of evisceration,
sepsis, and lower primary closure rates. This limits its usage predominantly to areas that lack resources for other temporary abdominal closures [28]. Reported rates of closure after a Bogota Bag vary signicantly between 12% and 80% [25, 28].

Skin-Only Closure
Perhaps the most rapid method for containing bowel intra-abdominally while mini­mizing heat and uid loss can be accomplished with a skin-only closure. This can be achieved by several options, including towel clamps, staples, or a running suture. This closure should then be covered with a plastic drape to further decrease heat and uid loss. While the skin closure can be done exceptionally fast, it does not provide any additional medial traction to the fascia in helping prevent loss of domain. Skin only closures are associated with higher rates of complications including eviscera­tion, infection, and loss of skin. Because of increased rates of complications and other options, few situations call for a skin-only closure.
Vacuum-Assisted Wound Closure andMesh-Mediated Fascial Traction (VAWCM)
Initially introduced in a small case series by Peterson etal., this technique serves as a promising hybrid between negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and the Wittmann patch [29]. The rst step involves placement of a perforated plastic sheet within the peritoneum, followed by placement of a polypropylene mesh that is sutured to each fascial edge to provide constant medial traction. In between the plastic sheet and mesh, moist laparotomy pads and drains are carefully placed. Subsequently, the entire wound is covered with an occlusive dressing, and the drains are connected to suction with settings similar to those utilized in NPWT.
Regular evaluation of the patient for possible abdominal wall closure is neces­sary, which typically involves taking the patient to the operating room every few days or exchanging the laparotomy pads, if needed. Since its initial description, several additional authors have reported promising results with the use of this tech­nique. Fascial closure rates have been cited as ranging from 60% to 89%, indicating its effectiveness in aiding wound healing and closure [3032].
Outcomes andComplications
Damage control laparotomy (DCL) is an important surgical procedure that can help save the lives of critically ill patients. However, like all surgical operations, it is not without risks and complications. While it is clear that in true damage control situa­tions, an expedited laparotomy is benecial and can reduce mortality rates, studies have shown that there are increased rates of specic complications associated with an open abdomen. In fact, the mortality rate for patients who experience complica­tions with an open abdomen can be as high as 25% [18].

Some of the complications that can occur with a delayed closure of the abdomen include ventral hernias, enterocutaneous or entero-atmospheric stulas, loss of abdominal domain, ventilator-associated pneumonia, bacteremia, and sepsis. It has been found that the risk of these complications can be minimized if the abdomen is closed within 8days from the index operation [20].
Despite the potential risks associated with DCL, there has been an increase in the number of these procedures being performed, with estimates suggesting that up to 40% of trauma patients may have an open abdomen [33, 34]. However, due to the lack of randomized controlled trials, identifying the appropriate indications for DCL has been left largely to expert opinion.
This has led some authors to suggest that DCL may be overused in situations where a denitive repair could be performed at the index procedure [18]. However, a recent matched trial conducted by George etal. found that there was no difference in mortality or major abdominal complications between patients who underwent a denitive laparotomy versus those who were left open and could have been closed at the index procedure. It should be noted, however, that the latter group did have a higher risk of fascial dehiscence [34].
Conclusion
The trauma laparotomy still follows the same “Operative Sequence” of access and exposure, temporary bleeding control, exploration, and then decision of denitive repair versus damage control as outlined by Hirshberg and Mattox over 15years ago. As operative trauma cases are declining and are increasingly concentrated in a few centers, the need to maintain adequate surgical training is vital. Today, the trauma laparotomy serves as a life-saving intervention in the management of abdominal trauma. It is a tool that every graduating surgical resident and every sur­geon taking trauma call should thoroughly understand and be prepared to utilize.

Introduction/Background
Intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) and especially the abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) often describe inadequately diagnosed clinical entities accompa­nied by an increased morbidity and mortality.
Knowledge of these conditions is of major importance in both medical and surgi­cal intensive care units (ICU), the emergency department, and the general ward. An adequate diagnosis and immediate therapy are necessary to improve the outcome. For the diagnosis, identifying risk factors and monitoring of the intraabdominal pressure play a key role [13].
Patients with abdominal diseases most frequently die from infectious complica­tions: peritonitis, on the one hand, due to a primary inammatory disease or isch­emia of an abdominal organ with bacterial translocation or organ perforation; on the other hand, after complicative abdominal surgery with anastomotic insufciency or bowel injury, but also from intraperitoneal hemorrhage or mechanical causes such as intestinal obstruction. Another abdominal cause of lethal disease progression is untreated abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). It describes a mismatch of space required by the abdominal organs including their blood supply and the avail­able abdominal volume. Especially in the case of both, an increased space require­ment of abdominal or retroperitoneal organs and reduced space inside the abdominal cavity, the development of an ACS is more likely.
The abdominal wall is physiologically very distensible compared with other compartments such as the skull. An increase of intraabdominal volume can usually be tolerated for a certain period of time without a negative impact on organ function. However, this distensibility has its limits, especially when the volume increase occurs in a short period of time. Conservative therapeutic measures are usually insufcient making emergency decompression laparotomy (EDL) a rarely neces­sary but often life-saving procedure in visceral as well as in burn medicine.
IAH leads to organ dysfunction and even organ failure via disturbance of abdom­inal organ perfusion. Usually, the kidneys are the rst to be affected. In addition, an increase of the intraabdominal pressure leads to a pathological diaphragmatic eleva­tion, which culminates in ventilatory dysfunction and lung failure. These conse­quences have a relevant impact on the mortality of critically ill patients.
Since ACS can be seen as a consequence of other pathologies, EDL is only a symptomatic and not a causal therapy of the underlying disease. Moreover, EDL is part of the complication management, which, on the other hand, requires prolonged treatment for secondary abdominal wall closure and involves additional, severe complications such as enteroatmospheric stulas. In this regard, the surgical tech­nique and the EDL approach have a crucial inuence on the EDL-associated com­plication rate and the secondary abdominal wall closure rate. EDL buys time for further therapy of the underlying disease by preventing a short-term lethal course due to multiorgan failure and improving organ function. Thereby, the overall out­come can be improved.

Denitions
A compartment syndrome describes an elevated pressure inside an inextensible ana­tomical space like the cranial, abdominal, and thoracic cavity, which leads to a compromitted tissue perfusion.
In a normal weight person, the physiological pressure in the abdominal cavity is 5mmHg, whereas in highly obese patients, an increased baseline IAP of 9–14mmHg can be found.
IAH is dened as an IAP >12mmHg and subdivided into four Grades (Grade I IAP 12–15mmHg, Grade II IAP 16–20mmHg, Grade III IAP 21–25mmHg, Grade IV IAP>25mmHg). The denition of ACS includes an IAP >20mmHg combined with a newly emerging organ dysfunction or organ failure. Acute elevations in IAP have shown similar effects in obese patients, but the threshold IAP associated with organ dysfunction is assumed to be higher in this population [49].
Epidemiology
Concerning the epidemiology of IAH and ACS, data show signicant differences. Causal may, on one hand, be the level of awareness among clinicians. In teaching hospitals, ACS is claimed to be diagnosed more often compared to district hospitals. On the other hand, the epidemiology depends on the studied population.
In general, critical patients show a higher risk in developing ACS than non­critical patients. Most studies focused on homogenous populations showing signi­cant differences in concerning the incidence rate. So, an overall incidence of IAH and ACS cannot be numbered [7, 10].
Incidence
For IAH including ACS, the following incidences are described: aortic surgery,
39.7% (33.3% elective and 61.5% emergency surgery); liver transplant, 59.5%; severe and acute pancreatitis, 85.7%; major trauma, 58.8–72.8%; mixed ICU, 39–48.9%; and septic shock, 18.9–68%.
If we consider only ACS, the incidences are aortic surgery, 5.2%; liver transplant,
7.7%; mixed ICU, 2–6%; septic shock, 28%; and severe acute pancreatitis, 57% [6].
Due to advanced recognition and management of IAH as well as improved inten­sive care and perioperative treatment including uid management optimization, critically ill patients progressively survive the initial phase. The incidence of IAH persists and is probable to increase, whereas the incidence of ACS lessens [6, 11].
