| Core Tip |
Dynamic fascial traction (DFT) improves outcomes in open abdomen management but is often limited by cost and resource requirements. This prospective randomized study demonstrates that serial tightening of a simple Bogota bag provides an effective, bedside, and low-cost alternative for achieving DFT, significantly reducing time to abdominal wall approximation and hospital stay without added complications-an approach particularly relevant to low- and middle-income healthcare settings. |
