This study aims to review early outcomes of patients undergoing an emergency laparotomy with prophylactic TIGR\u00ae mesh, used to reduce early fascial dehiscence and potential subsequent IH.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective, ethically approved review of 24 consecutive patients undergoing prophylactic TIGR\u00ae mesh placement during emergency laparotomies by a single surgeon between January 2017 and June 2021 at a University Hospital. A standardized approach included onlay positioning of the mesh, small\u2010bite fascial closure, and a wound bundle. We recorded patient demographics, operative indications, findings, degree of peritonitis, postoperative complications, and mortality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Result<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study included 24 patients; 16\/24 (66.6%) were female and median age was 72.5 (range 31\u201386); 14\/24 patients were ASA grade III or greater; 4\/24 patients (16.6%) developed six complications and 3\/6 occurred in a single patient. Complications included subphrenic abscess, seroma, intrabdominal hematoma, enterocutaneous fistula leading to deep wound infection and small bowel perforation. Five (20.8%) patients died in hospital; central venous catheter sepsis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u20091), fungal septicaemia (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u20091) and multiorgan failure (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u20093). Surgical site infection and seroma rates were low, occurring in 2\/24 patients (4% each).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study has identified that prophylactic onlay mesh in patients undergoing an emergency laparotomy is not associated with significant wound infection or seroma when used with an active wound bundle. The wider use of TIGR\u00ae to prevent fascial dehiscence and potential long\u2010term IH prevention should be considered.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ans.17925","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,1]],"date-time":"2022-08-01T10:47:41Z","timestamp":1659350861000},"page":"2218-2223","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Prophylactic
