The different <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">TAC<\/jats:styled-content> methods that are currently available include skin closure techniques, mesh products and negative pressure therapy (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">NPT<\/jats:styled-content>) systems. For this study, we retrospectively reviewed records of 115 <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">OA<\/jats:styled-content> patients treated with the commercially available <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">NPT<\/jats:styled-content> systems (V.A.C.<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> Abdominal Dressing System and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ABThera<\/jats:styled-content>\u2122 Open Abdomen Negative Pressure Therapy System) using a new method of applying the system\u00a0\u2013\u00a0the narrowing technique\u00a0\u2013\u00a0over a 5\u2010year period. Endpoints included fascial closure and 30\u2010day mortality rates and presence of enteroatmospheric fistulas. Secondary closure of the fascia was obtained in 92% (106\/115) of the patients with a mortality rate of 17% (20\/115) and a fistula rate of 3\u00b75% (4\/115). The use of the narrowing technique to apply <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">NPT<\/jats:styled-content> may explain the high closure rates observed in the patient population of this study. Further studies are necessary to compare the different methods and to evaluate the long\u2010term
