Use of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in Selected Cases to Facilitate Abdominal Wound Healing
Summary: November 2025 multiple case series examines NPWT for complex abdominal wounds: dehiscence with exposed bowel (fistula risk), peristomal skin issues (urinary leakage from ileal conduit requiring re-siting), infected incisions/fascial defects. Indications: Surgical dehiscence, peristomal complications. Outcomes: Granulation promotion, wound closure, peristomal skin optimization. Applications: Acute open wounds with exposure/defects; facilitates healing/risk reduction. No specific NPWT types detailed; supports adjunctive use in high-risk abdominal cases.
