Impact of vacuum assisted wound therapy on wound complications in STS surgery- A 3-year retrospective single-centre analysis
This study highlights the significantly increased risk of WCs in large sarcomas of the lower extremities. VAC therapy showed a significant improvement in wound closure especially in high-risk cases. Based on the results, the use of NWPT can be essential for wound management in sarcomas and improve convalescence and oncological treatment.
