What this Trial Is About
The 2023 World Journal of Emergency Surgery guidelines couldn't provide a recommendation for emergency abdominal wall closure due to insufficient consensus (\>80% required). Available evidence, predominantly retrospective and heterogeneous, lacks differentiation between urgent and elective colorectal surgeries. Therefore, we advocate for a study comparing laparotomy closures in emergency colorectal surgery to contribute evidence on incisional hernia incidence and subsequent complications.
