Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes between incisional negative-pressure wound vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy versus conventional dressings following abdominal surgery.

Conditions

  • Abdominal Reconstruction

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy

Following closure of the incision, patients will either have a gauze dressing placed over the incision (control group), or incisional vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy. The dressing will be removed over a time period of 2 to 5 days after surgery. The gauze dressing will be removed at 2 days and the wound VAC will be removed at 5 days.

PROCEDURE

Gauze dressing

Following closure of the incision, patients will either have a gauze dressing placed over the incision (control group), or incisional vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy. The dressing will be removed over a time period of 2 to 5 days after surgery. The gauze dressing will be removed at 2 days and the wound VAC will be removed at 5 days.
