Collection Overview

Despite the increasing use of mini-invasive techniques, surgical access through a direct incision remains the standard approach for abdominal surgery in many cases. This procedure is accompanied by variable rates of complications due to the patient’s condition, body habitus, past surgeries/scars, and infections. Dehiscence of the abdominal wound is potentially life-threatening, and every effort must be made to achieve complete healing. An open wound also affects the patient’s rehabilitation program and daily activities. This collection is focused on the up-to-date treatments for achieving the goal of abdominal wound healing or wound dehiscence prevention. Together with articles on the well-established standard of surgical practice, innovations, and personal techniques - the so-called "How I do it" - will be preferably considered for publication. Ancillary procedures, like negative pressure therapy, regenerative cell grafting, and specific topical agents use, are also inherent in the present collection. The advanced wound dressing technique will be considered appropriate for publication only if handling technique, timing, and pre/post imaging will be provided. Contributions should preferably include a step-by-step description of the method, detailing tips, and tricks to better accomplish the technique by avoiding side effects or complications.
