Wittmann Patch-Assisted Closure proves more clinically effective (19.43 QALYs) and cost-efficient ($7777 cost reduction) than planned ventral hernia repair. A decision tree analysis, rollback, and ICUR (-156,679.77) support Wittmann Patch’s cost-effectiveness, with a 96.8% confidence from Monte Carlo analysis. This study establishes Wittmann Patch-Assisted Closure as a superior and economically viable strategy for open abdomen management.
