Summary

This study is aimed to examine the value of incisional negative pressure therapy after resection of soft tissue tumors. Its a prospective randomized trial comparing incisional negative pressure to standard wound dressings.

Detailed description

Wound healing after resection of large soft tissue tumors is often impaired by large dead space and fluid collection, potentially resulting in seroma formation and infection. Aim of the study is to compare negative pressure wound therapy to standard wound dressing in terms of quantity of drainage fluid and wound healing complications.

Conditions

• Soft Tissue Sarcoma
• Lipoma
• Tumor

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Incisional negative pressure wound therapy	A negative pressure dressing is applied to the skin incision.
