The open abdomen is a validated and widely accepted approach to managing surgical and traumatic pathologies. Traumatic open abdomen involves leaving the fascial layer of the abdomen open after a laparotomy for blunt or penetrating trauma with the intention of going back later for definitive repair and closure. This activity describes the indications for a traumatic open abdomen and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the management of these patients.
