Abstract

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common
postoperative complications that typically develop
within 30 days of surgery. Negative Pressure Wound
Therapy (NPWT) has gained prominence because of its
potential to reduce dressing changes and enhance
wound care outcomes. This systematic review evaluated
the efficacy of NPWT in managing SSIs based on
evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
