Background Indications for the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) are broad
and include prophylaxis for surgical site infections (SSIs). Existing evidence for the …

BACKGROUND: Spine surgery is complicated by an incidence of 1% to 9% of surgical site
infection (SSI). The most common organisms are gram-positive bacteria and are …

Background: We report the first meta-analysis on the impact of prophylactic use of a specific
design of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device on surgical site complications …

Importance Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common after laparotomy wounds and are
associated with a significant economic burden. The use of negative pressure wound therapy …

Background Surgical site infections cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Negative
pressure wound therapy may reduce the risk of surgical site infections, but current evidence …

Objective: A randomized controlled trial was undertaken to investigate the effect of
prophylactic negative pressure dressings on postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) rates …

Background The evidence on prophylactic use of negative pressure wound therapy on
primary closed incisional wounds (iNPWT) for the prevention of surgical site infections (SSI) …

Objective To evaluate the reduction of surgical site infections by prophylactic incisional
negative pressure wound therapy compared with standard postoperative dressings in obese …

Objective Vascular groin incision complications contribute significantly to patients' morbidity
and rising health care costs. Negative pressure therapy over the closed incision decreases …

Background: It has been proposed that negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) applied
prophylactically to a closed incision may decrease the incidence of wound complications …
