Özet
Surgical site infection is still a challenging situation for every surgeon and it is continuing to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Various treatment protocols such as debridement, antibiotic therapy and dressings have been recommended in the literature. Recently, negative pressure wound therapy has been suggested as a new adjunctive modality for treating wounds with signs of infection. We describe the novel application of negative pressure wound therapy for the management of a case with severe wound infection after endometrial cancer surgery.
