“…10,11 In general, the morbidity and mortality rates following ambulatory surgery are very low. 12 Complication rates in this subset of patients undergoing breast reconstruction are approximately 5% to 7.5%, 13,14 making most follow-up visits perfunctory.…”

“…Whether or not patients received bupivacaine via the TAP catheter, each patient received adequate postoperative pain control with intravenous PCA hydromorphone and oral acetaminophen with instructions to maintain the pain score at < 4/10. Patients in both groups had low postoperative resting pain when compared with other studies examining pain after autologous breast reconstruction …”

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is widely used to treat many types of complex wounds, and the advent of the instillation and dwell time (NPWTi-d) technique has enhanced this system with the addition of automated treatment with topical solutions. In the field of vascular surgery, NPWT is utilized to help close wounds over underlying grafts; however keeping these wounds free of infection and avoiding large reoperation when infection occurs remains a challenge. In this case report we present a patient who required acute intervention for limb ischemia, with a large wound created in the groin for anastomosis of a prosthetic graft bypass. Postoperatively, the wound became infected, and the challenge became balancing infection control and graft preservation with the patient’s multiple comorbidities including postoperative non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). To avoid a large reoperation, we chose NPWTi-d with automated instillation of an antibiotic solution. There was no reinfection or return to the operating room (OR), the patient was discharged after four weeks and the wound closed on its own shortly thereafter. This case demonstrates that for high-risk surgical patients with known wound infections in the proximity of a bypass graft, NPWTi-d with antibiotic instillation may be an effective augmentation to current treatment strategies and may be considered as a stand-alone technique for wound closure in select cases.
