Abstract

GARCIA-RUANO, A. et al. Novel treatment of complex abdominal wounds with negative pressure therapy with intermittent instillation. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.3, pp.209-217. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922013000300001.

The present data reports our experience in the treatment of postsurgical dehiscent and infected abdominal wounds with exposure of prosthetic material with negative pressure therapy with intermittent instillation of topical solutions. This device allowed the rescue of pluripatological patients avoiding a complex resurgery of high morbi-mortality and facilitating wound closure, besides with conservation of the mesh in most of the cases.

Keywords : Vacuum assisted therapy; Abdominal wounds; Abdominal dehiscent wounds.
