Relatively recently the concept of \u201cintentional open abdomen\u201d was described and both clinical entities share common pathophysiological and clinical pathways (\u201cpostoperative open abdominal wall\u201d). Although early reconstruction is the target, a significant proportion of patients will develop adhesions between abdominal viscera and the anterolateral abdominal wall, a condition widely recognized as \u201cfrozen abdomen,\u201d where delayed wound closure appears as the only realistic alternative. We report our experience with a patient who presented with frozen abdomen after wound dehiscence due to surgical site infection and application of the \u201cColiseum technique\u201d for its definitive surgical management. This novel technique represents an innovative alternative to abdominal exploration, for cases of \u201cmalignant\u201d frozen abdomen due to peritoneal carcinomatosis. Lifting the edges of the surgical wound upwards and suspending them under traction by threads from a retractor positioned above the abdomen facilitates approach to the peritoneal cavity, optimizes exposure of intra-abdominal organs, and prevents operative injury to the innervation and blood supply of abdominal wall musculature, a crucial step for subsequent hernia repair.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/309290","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,10]],"date-time":"2015-05-10T21:03:08Z","timestamp":1431291788000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Surgical Tips in Frozen Abdomen Management: Application of Coliseum Technique"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2015","author":[{"given":"Ioannis D.","family":"Kyriazanos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Surgical Department, Athens Naval and Veterans Hospital, 11521 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dimitrios K.","family":"Manatakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Surgical Department, Athens Naval and Veterans Hospital, 11521 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nikolaos","family":"Stamos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Surgical Department, Athens Naval and Veterans Hospital, 11521 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christos","family":"Stoidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Surgical Department, Athens Naval and Veterans Hospital, 11521 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4240\/wjgs.v5.i12.314"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00134-013-2906-z"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004230050246"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1749-7922-4-12"},{"issue":"2","key":"5","first-page":"103","volume":"17","year":"2012","journal-title":"Surgical Chronicles"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-009-0277-y"},{"issue":"11","key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"927","DOI":"10.1177\/000313480306901102","volume":"69","year":"2003","journal-title":"American Surgeon"},{"issue":"4","key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"281","DOI":"10.1177\/000313480407000401","volume":"70","year":"2004","journal-title":"The American Surgeon"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-009-9996-3"},{"key":"10","first-page":"111","volume":"19","year":"2010","journal-title":"Surgical technology international"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cursur.2004.08.014"},{"issue":"2","key":"12","first-page":"153","volume":"66","year":"2011","journal-title":"Minerva Chirurgica"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0030-1262988"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamcollsurg.2009.05.025"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/sur.2008.044"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1479-666X(08)80050-9"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-011-1315-0"},{"key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ta.0000082493.55763.27"},{"key":"19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s1015-9584(09)60284-0"},{"key":"20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1457496913482252"},{"key":"21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jso.21061"},{"key":"22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2482-14-25"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cris\/2015\/309290.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cris\/2015\/309290.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cris\/2015\/309290.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,10]],"date-time":"2023-08-10T09:35:05Z","timestamp":1691660105000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/cris\/2015\/309290\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015]]},"references-count":22,"alternative-id":["309290","309290"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2015\/309290","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6900","2090-6919"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6900","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6919","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}}}
