Protocol for a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of prophylactic negative pressure wound therapy after abdominal perineal resection (VACPAC study)
This study seeks to provide clinical evidence of the efficacy of pNPWT in reducing perineal wound SSI after APR. Given its ease of application and minimal invasiveness, pNPWT may serve as an effective approach for SSI prevention. These findings may contribute to the establishment of a standardized preventive approach for perineal wound management after APR.
