Prophylactic closed‐incision negative‐pressure wound therapy is associated with decreased surgical site infection in high‐risk colorectal surgery laparotomy wounds

Abstract

Negative pressure therapy was associated with decreased surgical site infection. Negative pressure therapy offers significant potential for quality improvement.

Closed incision negative pressure therapy following abdominoplasty after breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps

“…Application of ciNPT has been reported to help create a closed environment over the incision, hold the wound edges together, reduce oedema, promote perfusion, and remove exudate via the application of constant negative pressure. Use of ciNPT has shown positive postoperative outcomes in patient populations with closed incisions resulting from groin wounds in vascular surgery, sternal reconstructive surgery, spine surgery, hip arthroplasty, and laparotomy . In this pilot study of 10 DIEP flap breast reconstruction patients, we compared outcomes of patients treated with ciNPT vs standard occlusive dressings.…”

Prophylactic Negative-pressure Dressings Reduce Wound Complications and Resource Burden After Emergency Laparotomies

“…Furthermore, use of NPD reduced hospital stay and wound-related readmissions. These findings reflect those undergoing elective cardiothoracic, 21 vascular, 22 gynecological, 23 plastic, 24 colorectal, 25 and general surgeries, 26 as well as in patients with high-risk abdominal wounds. [27][28][29] Importantly, we found that the overall incidence of SSI (17.2%) and wound breakdown (10.6%) after emergency laparotomy is high.…”

Clinical Applications and Benefits of Using Closed-incision Negative Pressure Therapy with Novel Dressing: A Review Article

“…The use of a new dressing method in wound care is reported to be effective in enhancing the reparative process [5]. Closed-incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) with novel dressings is divided into three phases, i.e., inflammation, remodeling, and proliferation and tissue formation [6]. This novel closed-incision management (CIM) has become a convenient method for negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), with the clinical advantage of helping patients with postoperative complications [7].…”
