![]() La infección del sitio quirúrgico (SSI) es una de las principales complicaciones quirúrgicas, con una incidencia del 10-20% en cirugía colorrectal. NPWT is a useful SSI prevention treatment in colorectal surgery. In the multivariate analysis, mechanical bowel preparation was found to be the only risk factor for SSI ( P=.047 OR: 0.8, CI 0.45–0.93). Hospital stay in the NPWT group was 8 days versus 12 days in the non-NPWT group ( P=.22). Three patients has SSI in the NPWT group (8%) (95%CI 0–17.5). ![]() No significant differences were found in demographic variables, comorbidities, surgical approach, elective or non-elective surgery, mechanical bowel preparation and surgical procedure. Forty patients were treated according to the standard postoperative surgical wound care protocol. Forty patients were treated with prevention NPWT for one week. We present a prospective case–control study including 80 patients after a colorectal diagnosis and surgical procedure (elective and non-elective) in 2017. Hospital stay reduction and SSI risk factors are secondary objectives. The main objective of this study is to assess NPWT in the prevention of SSI in colorectal surgery. ![]() ![]() Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has shown efficacy in the treatment of chronic and traumatic wounds, wound dehiscence, flaps and grafts. It is diagnosed in 10%–20% of colorectal procedures. Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most frequent complications in colorectal surgery. ![]()
