Temporary closure of the abdomen with a synthetic mesh and multiple planned relaparotomies are the essentials of the modern strategy for treating severe intra-abdominal sepsis or pancreatic necrosis. One of the complications associated with mesh closure of the abdomen is facial necrosis at the wound edges leading to evisceration. Tension of the strictures between mesh and facia called local ischemia, which combined with infection leads to the facial disintegration and separation of the mesh from the abdominal wall. A modified technique of suturing the mesh was developed in our department and its technical details are presented. Twenty-four patients treated with the "open abdominal technique and planned relaparotomies" are presented. The new technique was used in 9 patients for closure of evisceration after mesh separation.
