VAWC and mesh mediated fascial traction
"The first period of 2-5 days only the abdominal VAWC dressing is applied. On day 3-10 a polypropylene mesh is sutured to the fascial edges, between the two layers of the VAWC system, and tightened.~The VAWC dressing is changed and the mesh tightened every 2-3 days, resulting in gradual approximation of the fascial edges.~Finally the mesh is removed and the fascia is closed"
