[Postoperative abdominal strapping. Application improved by an aerosol glue].
Post-operative abdominal strapping has proved effective in the prevention of incisional hernia in patients at risk, in the treatment of non-exteriorized incisional hernias and in the deliberate non-closure of the abdominal wall. Its purpose is to avoid deterioration, by a second operation, of an already fragile wall. To be effective, strapping must adhere to the entire abdominal wall rather than to the edges of the incision; it must also be permeable to body fluids and well tolerated. The "nylon stocking" (contensor) glued with the surgical varnish has been used in almost 3000 of our patients, and it has fulfilled these requirements. A glue delivered by aerosol has been tested in 60 patients; it makes gluing easier for the nursing staff, and it facilitates the application, improves the tolerance of the contensor and makes its prolonged wearing more comfortable.
