Effectiveness of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in Reducing SSIs after CRS/HIPEC

Researchers found that negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) can significantly reduce surgical site infections (SSIs) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). A study of 178 patients showed lower SSI rates with NPWT (5.6%) compared to standard surgical dressing (11.4%). Multivariate analysis confirmed that NPWT was associated with a significantly lower risk of developing SSIs (odds ratio 0.24 [0.06, 0.92], p = 0.037). These results suggest that NPWT could be beneficial in reducing SSIs after CRS/HIPEC.
