Closure of an abdominal wound with Bogota bag

Bogota bag has several clinical advantages: it allows permanent drainage of the abdominal wall, because it is not sealed; prevents evisceration, because the viscera are contained in this plastic bag; favours the ventilation of the patient because it reduces intraabdominal pressure rise and prevents the diaphragm.

It facilitates the natural closing of the wall, because it is injured less; wounds prevent bedsores and secondary total points or staples used to hold the abdominal wall; preventing compartment syndrome, as it facilitates the expansion and intraabdominal pressure decreases; and retains the skin and aponeurosis better conditions for delayed closure.
