Conservative Management of Major Abdominal Wound Dehiscence in Premature Babies
European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 09/01/09
Burki T et al. – Abdominal wound dehiscence can be successfully managed conservatively with intrasite gel and duoderme dressings, even if bowel is visible. This is potentially lifesaving in severely premature and septic babies in whom primary closure is not desirable. However, some patients do develop adhesive intestinal obstruction or a faecal fistula, either as a result of their primary illness or of this treatment.
