  • Title: Double loop mass closure technique for abdominal incisions.
    Author: Burleson RL.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1978 Sep; 147(3):414-6. PubMed ID: 150651.
    Abstract:
    The technique of double loop mass closure of vertical abdominal incisions converts a vertical incision into a physiologic incision by converting distracting muscular stress into an opposing force. Use of the closure in a small series of high risk patients has demonstrated it to allow closure of vertical incisions with subsequent wound healing without hernia, dehiscence or invasive wound infection.
