Abstract
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is still a time-critical and life-threatening clinical picture. If exploration of the abdominal cavity is necessary during treatment, an intraoperative assessment of which segments of the intestines have a sufficient potential for recovery must be made. These decisions are mostly based on purely clinical parameters, which are subject to high level of uncertainty. This review article provides an overview of how this decision-making process and the determination of resection margins can be improved using technical aids, such as laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography or hyperspectral imaging (HSI). Furthermore, this article compiles guideline recommendations on the role of laparoscopy and the value of a planned second-look laparotomy. In addition, an overview of strategies for preventing short bowel syndrome is given and other aspects, such as the timing and technical aspects of placement of a preternatural anus and an anastomosis are highlighted.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Damage-control surgery (DCS) is a strategy adopted to limit initial operative interventions in the unstable surgical patient, delaying definitive repairs and abdominal wall closure until physiologic parameters have improved. Although this concept of "physiology over anatomy" was initially described in the management of severely injured trauma patients, the approaches of DCS have become common in the management of nontraumatic intra-abdominal emergencies.While the utilization of damage-control methods in emergency general surgery (EGS) is controversial, numerous studies have demonstrated improved outcomes, making DCS an essential technique for all acute care surgeons. Following a brief history of DCS and its indications in the EGS patient, the phases of DCS will be discussed including an in-depth review of preoperative resuscitation, techniques for intra-abdominal source control, temporary abdominal closure, intensive care unit (ICU) management of the open abdomen, and strategies to improve abdominal wall closure.

Abstract
PURPOSE Current guidelines advocate liberal use of delayed abdominal closure in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) undergoing laparotomy. Few studies have systematically examined this practice. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of delayed abdominal closure on postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients with AMI. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of the ACS-NSQIP 2013-2017 registry. We included patients with a diagnosis of AMI undergoing emergency laparotomy. Patients were divided into two groups based on the type of abdominal closure: (1) delayed fascial closure (DFC) when no layers of the abdominal wall were closed and (2) immediate fascial closure (IFC) if deep layers or all layers of the abdominal wall were closed. Propensity score matching was performed based on comorbidities, pre-operative, and operative characteristics. Univariable analysis was performed on the matched sample. RESULTS The propensity-matched cohort consisted of 1520 patients equally divided into the DFC and IFC groups. The median (IQR) age was 68 (59-77), and 836 (55.0%) were female. Compared to IFC, the DFC group showed increased in-hospital mortality (38.9% vs. 31.6%, p = 0.002), 30-day mortality (42.4% vs. 36.3%, p = 0.012), and increased risk of respiratory failure (59.5% vs. 31.2%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The delayed fascial closure technique was associated with increased mortality compared to immediate fascial closure. These findings do not support the blanket incorporation of delayed closure in mesenteric ischemia care or its previously advocated liberal use.

Abstract
To date, mortality in widespread peritonitis is still high (15-20%) and increased up to 70-80% in case of septic shock. Surgeons actively discuss wound closure technique in these patients considering intraoperative findings and severity of illness. The authors present scientific data and opinions of national and foreign surgeons regarding the methods of laparotomy closure. There are still no generally accepted criteria for choosing the method of laparotomy closure in secondary widespread peritonitis. Indications and clinical efficacy of each procedure require additional research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To create a system for choosing surgical approach and completing laparotomy in advanced secondary peritonitis via combination of clinical, visual intra-abdominal criteria and systems for predicting the outcomes of peritonitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 686 patients with peritonitis between May 2015 and December 2022. Age of patients ranged from 16 to 95 years (mean 53.4±8.7). Male-to-female ratio was 1.2:11 (377:309). Destructive appendicitis was the cause of peritonitis in 274 (39.9%) patients, gastroduodenal ulcer perforation - 160 (23.3%) patients, colonic perforation - 188 (27.4%) patients, other causes - 64 (9.4%) patients. At baseline, 481 (70.1%) patients underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, and laparoscopic surgery was possible in 302 (62.8%) cases. Primary median laparotomy was performed in 205 (29.9%) patients. The closed method of completing laparotomy was used in 345 patients (77 - 22.3% died), staged elective surgeries - 28 (18 - 64.3% died), open abdomen technique was used in 11 patients (5 - 45.5% died). Redo laparotomy on demand was performed in 44 patients. Of these, 21 (47.7%) ones died. Overall mortality was 15.0% (n=103). The main causes of mortality were sepsis/septic shock (67 cases, 65.0%), acute cardiovascular and respiratory failure (15 patients, 14.6%). RESULTS The developed index of approach and completion of surgery in secondary peritonitis is valuable to make a decision on access and completion of surgery in patients with widespread peritonitis. CONCLUSION Integral systems for assessment of clinical status and choice of treatment strategy are effective in systematizing the results, evaluating treatment outcomes and conducting researches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the incidence of acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI), proportions of its different forms and short-term and long-term mortality. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE (Ovid), Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library were searched until 26 July 2022. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Studies reporting data on the incidence and outcomes of AMI in adult populations. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Data extraction and quality assessment with modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale were performed using predeveloped standard forms. The outcomes were the incidence of AMI and its different forms in the general population and in patients admitted to hospital, and the mortality of AMI in its different forms. RESULTS From 3064 records, 335 full texts were reviewed and 163 included in the quantitative analysis. The mean incidence of AMI was 6.2 (95% CI 1.9 to 12.9) per 100 000 person years. On average 5.0 (95% CI 3.3 to 7.1) of 10 000 hospital admissions were due to AMI. Occlusive arterial AMI was the most common form constituting 68.6% (95% CI 63.7 to 73.2) of all AMI cases, with similar proportions of embolism and thrombosis.Overall short-term mortality (in-hospital or within 30 days) of AMI was 59.6% (95% CI 55.5 to 63.6), being 68.7% (95% CI 60.8 to 74.9) in patients treated before the year 2000 and 55.0% (95% CI 45.5 to 64.1) in patients treated from 2000 onwards (p<0.05). The mid/long-term mortality of AMI was 68.2% (95% CI 60.7 to 74.9). Mortality due to mesenteric venous thrombosis was 24.6% (95% CI 17.0 to 32.9) and of non-occlusive mesenteric ischaemia 58.4% (95% CI 48.6 to 67.7). The short-term mortality of revascularised occlusive arterial AMI was 33.9% (95% CI 30.7 to 37.4). CONCLUSIONS In adult patients, AMI is a rarely diagnosed condition with high mortality, although with improvement of treatment results over the last decades. Two thirds of AMI cases are of occlusive arterial origin with potential for better survival if revascularised. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42021247148.
