Treatment of postpneumonectomy empyema remains challenging, especially in presence of bronchopleural fistula. We analysed clinical outcome data of patients with and without bronchopleural fistula undergoing an accelerated empyema treatment concept. From November 2005 to July 2020, all patients with postpneumonectomy empyema were included.

Objective: Autoimmune diseases are systemic conditions that can have negative effects on wound healing. The objective of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of combining bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), acellular dermal matrix (ADM), split-thickness skin graft (STSG), and negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for treating patients with autoimmune diseases and chronic non-healing wounds.
Methods: Thirty-four patients with autoimmune diseases and non-healing chronic wounds of the lower extremities between 2012 and 2023 were included in the study.

Purpose: Recent findings suggest that utilizing negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) concurrently with stoma closure may decrease the risk of incisional surgical site infection (iSSI). However, the specific impact of NPWT on iSSI after stoma closure remains unclear. This study investigated the impact of NPWT on SSI after stoma closure.

Background: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been employed for post-surgical wound management across various disciplines, including spinal surgery. However, its efficacy in reducing wound infection rates following posterior thoracolumbar spine surgery remains uncertain.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted at a single institution, examining 266 patients who underwent posterior thoracic, lumbar, or thoracolumbar spine surgery performed by one neurosurgeon.
Effectiveness of most common adjuvant wound treatments (skin substitutes, negative pressure wound therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, platelet-rich plasma/fibrin, and growth factors) for the management of hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials for the development of the Italian Guidelines for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Syndrome.

Aim: To assess the effects of several adjuvant therapies (AT) commonly used in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). The present meta-analysis was designed to support the development of the Italian Guidelines for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Syndrome.
Methods: A Medline and Embase search were performed up to May 20th, 2024 collecting all RCTs including diabetic patients or reporting subgroup analyses on diabetic patients with DFU comparing AT with placebo/standard of care (SoC), with a duration of at least 12 weeks.
