Influence of closed‐incision negative‐pressure wound therapy on the incidence of surgical site wound infection in patients undergoing spine surgery: A meta‐analysis
Abstract:The present meta‐analysis was conducted to comprehensively assess the impact of closed‐incision negative‐pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) on the incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs) in patients undergoing spinal fusion surgery, thereby aiming to provide evidence‐based support for the prevention of postoperative wound infections during spinal surgery.
