Factors related to successful mesh salvage with negative pressure wound therapy: a retrospective cohort study
NPWT is an effective method for salvaging infected meshes, with a high success rate. Active smoking was identified as a risk factor for NPWT failure, highlighting the need for early identification of patients who may benefit from alternative approaches. Further studies are required to develop predictive models for NPWT success in mesh salvage.
