A complex wound is the type of wound that has a slow healing process even with standard treatments or tends to recur once it was healed. The aim of this research is to apply negative-pressure wound therapy in the treatment of acute conflict-related wound patients. Materials and Methods: The cohort study included nine patients with complex wounds who were admitted to Hospital Lic. José María Benítez from February to July 2019. Six of the patients on study were male and three female patients whose average age was 50, with comorbidities associated to malnourishment and diabetes mellitus. According to diagram C. Leal, the type of wound mostly found was type 4 (55.6%), ranging from 11-20 cm in diameter, >3 cm depth, with excessive purulent exudate (drainage). The most common cultivated germs found were E. coli (44.4%) and S. aureus (44.4%). All of the patients on study reported clinical improvement of their wounds in all aspects, and an evidence of a 3-day average for the development of the granulation tissue. Concluding that the applying this method evidenced acceleration of wound healing, control of the risk of infection, and reduction of the length of stay in the hospital.
