Abstract
Laparostomy in children is a rare procedure, and there is little in the literature as to the best method for closure in children with an open abdomen. We describe 2 cases with stage 4S neuroblastoma that required emergency decompressive laparostomy. Both cases highlight advantages and disadvantages with known techniques for achieving skin and fascia closure. We believe this to be the first report of a combination of extracellular matrix mesh and vacuum therapy for successful fascial and skin closure in stage 4S neuroblastoma.
