Closed-Incision Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy after Resection of Soft-Tissue Tumors Reduces Wound Complications: Results of a Randomized Trial.

Background: Wound healing after resection of large soft-tissue tumors is often impaired by large dead space and fluid collection. Recently, the authors were able to show an association of wound complications with worse oncologic outcome in soft-tissue sarcomas. The aim of the study was to examine the value of closed-incision negative pressure wound therapy on postoperative wound drainage and wound complications after soft-tissue tumor resection.

Risk Factors for Occurrence and Relapse of Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

The diagnosis and prognostic outcome of STS pose a therapeutic challenge in an interdisciplinary setting. The treatment protocols are still discussed controversially. This systematic meta-analysis aimed to determine prognostic factors leading to the development and recurrence of STS.

Prophylactic lymphaticovenous anastomoses for resection of soft tissue tumors of the thigh to prevent secondary lymphedema-a retrospective comparative cohort analysis.

Background: Patients with soft tissue tumors of extremities are at risk to develop secondary lymphedema after tumor resection caused by disruption of lymphatic vessels and sclerosis. Subsequently, this study aimed to evaluate the beneficial effects of lymphaticovenous anastomoses (LVAs) after soft tissue tumor resection of the thigh in a prophylactic approach.

Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, we compared eight patients with a median age of 68.
