متن کاملA blinded, prospective, randomized controlled trial of topical negative pressure wound closure in India.
Wound closure using topical negative pressure (TNP) has been reported to be effective, but equipment costs can be prohibitive in resource-challenged countries. Because nonhealing wounds are exceedingly common in developing countries such as India, the ability to optimize wound care with limited resources is very important. To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of providing TNP in an India...
متن کاملExtended negative pressure wound therapy-assisted dermatotraction for the closure of large open fasciotomy wounds in necrotizing fasciitis patients
BACKGROUND Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rapid progressive infection of the subcutaneous tissue or fascia and may result in large open wounds. The surgical options to cover these wounds are often limited by the patient condition and result in suboptimal functional and cosmetic wound coverage. Dermatotraction can restore the function and appearance of the fasciotomy wound and is less invasive ...
متن کاملElevation as a treatment for fasciotomy wound closure.
There are currently numerous techniques described in the literature that attempt to optimize wound closure following a fasciotomy. However, primary closure of fasciotomy wounds continues to be difficult to accomplish successfully because of the underlying edema sustained from the compartment syndrome. The approach described in the present report is simple and physiologically sound, and addresse...
