Yeah. We leave stuff open all the time. Sometimes we even leave abdomens open with the intent to go back to the OR 1-2 days later. This is a fasciotomy. Just gotta keep it clean. It’ll get closed a bit little by little and if not all the way, skin grafted.

Hell, sometimes y'all leave chests open. Or brains, sort of (close the skin but leave the bone flap out). Surgery is wild.
