ObjectiveTo explore the application value of damage control in intra-abdominal sepsis. MethodsThe related literatures were searched by searching literatures with " damage control” " damage control resuscitation” damage control surgery”, and " intra-abdominal sepsis”, to made an review. Results Despite significant advances in management and treatment, mortality from intra-abdominal sepsis remained still high. Due to its unique anatomic and microbial environment, initial operation could not completely remove the source of infection and avoid complications. Therefore, it was becoming increasingly popular to utilize a damage control strategy with abbreviated laparotomy and planned reoperations. ConclusionsDamage control is characterized by staged treatment, and is widely accepted used to manage intra-abdominal sepsis.
