Closed Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (ciNPWT) in Oncological Orthopedic Surgery: Preliminary Report.

This report presents the authors' experience with surgical wound-healing using a negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device in a population of oncological orthopedic patients. Two groups of 26 oncological patients each underwent surgical excision. After surgery, the control group received standard dressings and the closed incisional NPWT (ciNPWT) group was treated with a ciNPWT system on the sutured wound area for 14 days.
