A case series and discussion based on experiences gained during Operation Iraqi Freedom are presented. The Army previously published an article on the use of Gore-Tex mesh in the staged closure of open abdominal wounds. We thought that use of a biomaterial could shorten the overall course of abdominal closure and improve outcomes. This is mainly a "proof of concept" type of study. Although class I data are not presented, a useful concept is discussed. To our knowledge, no other report of the use of biomaterials for battle casualties has been published. Several issues that are faced by the military medical system are presented. The use of Surgisis (lyophilized porcine small intestinal submucosa; Cook Biotech, West Lafayette, Indiana) in the described setting is presented as one possible solution.
