NCT04808765

Brief Summary

The study aimed to assess the impact of the use of closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) after immediate breast reconstruction on the number of surgical-site complications, skin surface temperature, objective elastic and viscoelastic and subjective scar's quality to determine risk factors that could be considered as indications for prophylactic ciNPWT application.
