Why the study?
Does prophylactic incisional negative pressure wound therapy reduce surgical site infection in obese women undergoing caesarean section?
Does prophylactic incisional negative pressure wound therapy reduce surgical site infection in obese women undergoing caesarean section?
Prophylactic incisional negative pressure wound therapy significantly reduces the risk of surgical site infections in obese women after caesarean section.
Supports prophylactic incisional NPWT to reduce post-caesarean SSI in obese women; challenges low-certainty evidence against benefit from 25 prior studies.
RCT: prophylactic incisional NPWT versus standard dressings postcaesarean in 876 women significantly reduces the risk of SSI.
