    Common indications for OA included septic shock, severe peritoneal contamination, and significant comorbidities affecting surgical decisions.

  • 3

    Temporary abdominal closure techniques utilized included Negative Pressure Wound Therapy and the Vacuum-pack technique to manage complications.

  • 4

    Patient data collected included demographics, clinical scores, comorbidities, and outcomes such as in-hospital mortality and ICU length of stay.
