NPWTi allows safe delayed free flap repair of Gustilo IIIb injuries: A prospective case series
Abstract
Free flap lower extremity repair is associated with a high complication rate (>31%); higher rates are observed in more severe patients. In cases requiring prior systemic/local stabilization, delayed repair increases complication rate (+10% at 7 days): Negative-pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) decreases complications but only when applied for less than 7 days. Recent limited evidence suggests that augmentation of NPWT with instillation for wound...
