چکیده
Successful treatment of peritonitis with negative pressure wound therapy has been frequently reported. Long term open abdomen treatment in complex cases such as in the treatment of peritonitis, often leads to an extensive abdominal wall defects. It may be challenging to close such a defect. Both primary sutures and synthetic meshes are strongly discouraged in surgical treatments of such cases. We present a clinical case demonstrating successful treatment of a class IV abdominal wall defect using a porcine dermal collagen implant (Permacol, Medtronic) in a patient after peritonitis treated with NPWT.

متن کاملThe Effects of Variable, Intermittent, and Continuous Negative Pressure Wound Therapy, Using Foam or Gauze, on Wound Contraction, Granulation Tissue Formation, and Ingrowth Into the Wound Filler
OBJECTIVE Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is commonly used in the continuous mode. Intermittent pressure therapy (IPT) results in faster wound healing, but it often causes pain. Variable pressure therapy (VPT) has therefore been introduced to provide a smooth transition between 2 different pressure environments, thereby maintaining the negative pressure environment throughout the therapy...
متن کاملThe role of negative pressure wound therapy in patients with kidney transplantation.
Kidney transplantation is the best treatment modality for patients with end-stage renal disease. Wound healing is impaired in these patients, and factors such as immunosuppression, older age and comorbidities have a negative impact on wound healing. Recently, negative pressure wound therapy has become an important wound management technique. We present two patients with wound healing issues in ...
