Highlights |
• | Fasciotomy closure is still a controversial topic, the selection between techniques will depend on surgical experience, surgeon's preference, and resources available. |
• | Sequential closure with saline bags, in our experience, is an easy, secure and accessible option. |
• | This technique may cut down off significantly on resources avoiding the need for new OR trips, infectious complications, and the use of other expensive resources such as the VAC system. |
