The Abdominal Re‐Approximation Anchor device (ABRA®) has the potential to be useful in both emergency and elective dynamic temporary fascial closure

The management of an open abdomen (OA) remains an evolving field because of its relative rarity. Many techniques to achieve temporary abdominal closure exist, but often require multiple returns to the operating theatre and usually do not address the issue of lateral fascial retraction and do not achieve primary fascial closure (PFC). The ensuing incisional hernias result in a significant surgical challenge affecting both the physical and mental health of the patient. We describe our experience with the Abdominal Re‐approximation Anchor (ABRA) device, which addresses some of these issues.
