In a systematic review of 85 trials, incisional negative pressure wound therapy (INPWT) significantly lowered the risk of overall surgical site infections (SSIs) and related wound complications compared to standard dressings.
A deep learning model demonstrates strong potential for detecting surgical site infections (SSIs) from wound photographs, which could enhance postoperative monitoring and early diagnosis.
In patients undergoing emergency laparotomy, incisional negative pressure wound therapy (INPWT) significantly decreases the risk of surgical site infections (SSI) compared to standard dressings.
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) doesn't cut surgical site infections but speeds up healing after stoma reversal.
One in five patients undergoing surgery for Morel-Lavallee lesions face wound complications.
Delayed primary closure with intrawound irrigation doesn’t reduce surgical site infections after colorectal perforation.
Surgeons can now preoperatively assess wound complication risk using a newly validated scoring model for internal hemipelvectomy.
Using silver and DACC dressings significantly lowers surgical site infections (SSIs), which can improve recovery times and reduce costs.
