Laparotomy closure relies on the incisional edges as anchor for the suture material. The results of these techniques are not satisfying, with failure rates of up to 20%. To investigate the effect of different conventional closure techniques and a novel "bridging technique" on abdominal wall perfusion an animal study was performed in rabbits. Abdominal wall perfusion was measured using the method of dynamic laser-fluorescence videography in the first 72 h of incisional wound healing in 25 animals. Suture tension was controlled with a water-filled polyurethane balloon connected to a pressure detector. The effect of laparotomy closure on abdominal wall tissue perfusion depends significantly on the applied technique and suture tension. Avoiding direct sutures in the incisional edges during laparotomy closure leads to a better tissue perfusion of the incisional region than conventional suture techniques. Suture tension can be controlled and adjusted using a water-filled polyurethane balloon as a pressure sensor.
