- Abstract:
The article describes a novel use of the Alexis wound protector for laparostomy in temporary abdominal closure (TAC). Topics discussed include techniques to achieve TAC, ensuring the Alexis remains in situ and washout of the abdomen is carried out, and maintaining sterility by placing a clear occlusive dressing that covers the entire device.
