Brief Summary
Perineal wound healing is a significant challenge after extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE) due to a high rate of wound breakdown. And it was proved that neoadjuvant radiotherapy significantly increases perineal wound problems after abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer. Negative pressure therapy has proven benefits in open wounds, and recently a negative pressure system has been developed for use on closed wounds at high risk of breakdown. A systematic review suggested a significant decrease in perineal wound complications when using incisional negative pressure wound therapy was demonstrated, with surgical site infection rates as low as 9% (vs 41% in control groups). The review suggested that incisional negative pressure wound therapy decreases perineal wound complications after abdominoperineal resection. Prospective study also suggested that after ELAPE the application of a negative pressure system to the perineal wound closed with biologic mesh may reduce perineal wound complications. The aim of the present study was to determine whether negative pressure therapy combined with biological mesh compared with biological mesh alone after ELAPE could improve wound healing.

perineal wound complications
perineal wound complications after pelvic floor reconstruction following ELAPE
6 months after operation
Study Arms (2)
Biological Mesh
ACTIVE COMPARATORUsing biological mesh to recnostruct the pelvic floor following ELAPE
Biological Mesh With Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
EXPERIMENTALUsing biological mesh compined with negative pressure wound therapy to recnostruct the pelvic floor following ELAPE
Interventions
The perineal wound was reconstructed with biologic mesh after ELAPE. The subcutaneous adipose layer was closed with 2/0 vicryl sutures, and a suction drain was left in the deep layer. The subcuticular layer and skin were closed with 3/0 vicryl mattress sutures and the negative pressure system applied at 80 mmHg
