Abstract
The definitive closure of the abdominal wall may not be favorable in the treatment of several surgical conditions. Then the temporary closure of the abdominal wall with creation of a laparostomy is necessary. Indications for a laparostomy are planned re-explorations of the abdominal cavity, abdominal wall defects, severe abdominal infections or the onset of an abdominal compartment syndrome.
