Vacuum Assisted Closure Versus On-demand Relaparotomy in Patients With Fecal or Diffuse Peritonitis
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Vacuum assisted closure: The Vacuum assisted closure system consists of an abdominal dressing covering the intra abdominal viscera over the dressing there will be placed a blue sponge which will be covered by drape and connected to a vacuum pump.
Relaparotomy "on demand": Abdomen is closed at the index operation after source of peritonitis is treated. Every 48-hours the patients are evaluated for the need of relaparotomy based on clinical and paraclinical parameters.
Study summary
Multicenter randomized controlled trial including patients with fecal or diffuse peritonitis to either vacuum assisted closure or relaparotomy "on-demand".
