Abstract

In recent years, there has been a greater emphasis on providing high-quality medical treatment to ensure patients’ safety through improving recovery after surgery (ERAS), reducing postoperative stress, and restoring normal function quickly. Negative pressure wound care has revolutionized the way acute and chronic wounds are treated. The incision site is usually covered with an occlusive or semiocclusive covering after primary wound closure. It is thought that using closed incisional negative pressure therapy on surgical wounds improves wound healing by better distributing shear stresses on wound edges and promoting the evacuation of wound fluids such subcutaneous seroma and hematoma
