Closed Incision Negative Pressure Therapy to Reduce Surgical Site Infection in High-Risk Gastrointestinal Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

In this multi-institutional, randomized controlled trial of patients undergoing colorectal or hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, incidence of incisional SSIs between ciNPT and conventional wound therapy was not statistically significant. Future trials should focus on patient populations undergoing specific procedures types that have the highest risk for SSI.
