AbstractAim: The aim of the present study was to assess the closed Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy at FlapSuture Line.Material & Methods: A retrospective analysis for the duration of 12 months of patients who underwentciNPWT at the flap suture line was included in the study at department of Plastic Surgery. 30 patients wereincluded in the study.Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of patient baseline informationsuch as age, gender, ASA classification, and preoperative laboratory indices (including haemoglobin, alaninetransaminase, aspartate transaminase, creatinine, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, andD-dimer). Within the NPWT group, all patients obtained scores below 20 score. Conversely, within the Controlgroup, a significant majority of patients demonstrated ASEPSIS scores surpassing 20 score. There was nostatistical difference in ADLS scores, LEFS scores, and VAS scores between the two groups.Conclusion: Closed incisional NPWT decreases the untoward effects of dead space following the reconstructionof complex wounds. The incidence of SSI and wound gaping can be reduced
