Background: The surgical technique of "open abdomen" (laparostomy) enables to decrease mortality in patients with severe abdominal trauma, secondary peritonitis and intra-abdominal hypertension syndrome.An anatomic primary closure is achieved in only 30% to 40% of patients without requiring a later intervention with the aim of abdominal wall reconstruction. The objective of the study was to determine if early correction of laparostomy, using biological mesh, avoid later re-interventions. Methods: Aprospective, descriptive and clinic study was designed to prove the effectiveness of porcine small intestine submucosal biological mesh(Biomec CxR, del laboratorio 3Biomat. Bogotá - Colombia) in early correction of incisional hernia post- laparostomy (n=9) secundary to intra-abdominal sepsis. It was included demographic variables, first surgical procedure, amount of peritoneal lavage, biological mesh size, complications and functional results. The median following time was 19 months (range 13 to 23 months). Results: Nine patients with abdominal sepsis and laparostomy that couldn't be primary closed were taken to repair of insicional ventral hernia with biological mesh. Inlay technique was used. The gender distribution was similar and the median age was 63 years. The complications observed were: superficial insicional surgical site infection in 4 (44.4 %) patients, partial wound dehiscence in 3 (33.3 %) patients; granuloma in 1 (11.1 %) patient and 1 case of seroma (11.1 %). After more than 1 year of follow-up was demonstrated that 4 patientes (45,5%) persist with incisional hernia and 5 patients (55.5%) developed abdominal wall laxity. Conclusion: Early repair with biological mesh of incisional hernia post-laparostomy allowed getting a continent abdominal wall and prevents further surgery in give of our nine patients.
