POSTNATAL PERINEAL WOUND TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Objective: The purpose of this study is to review a number of research papers about postpartum perineal wound care technologies. Methods: The systematic review for this investigation was carried out using PRISMA, or Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses. Electronic databases are used in this study to find pertinent papers. An electronic database search (PubMed and Connected Papers). The papers that are sought after were published between 2019 and 2023, or the last five years. Results: It has been demonstrated that Negative Pressure Wound Dressing (NPWT) works to speed up wound healing, lower complications, and improve the outcome of skin grafts. Foam dressings with rims efficiently reduce discomfort from wounds and enhance their ability to recover. NPWT can hold the skin securely, minimizing shear pressures and limiting the development of subcutaneous hematomas. It can also be used to prepare the wound bed for flap closure grafting. Perineal skin graft wounds can also be managed using NPWT, but this is more difficult because of the possibility of infection and the requirement for a tight seal. Conclusion: By taking into account the evidence level of the study methodology, the intervention strategies for lowering pain, healing perineal lesions, and boosting comfort.
