Abstract:
Flap is a main way to repair complex wound defects, however its related complications cannot be ignored. The wound negative pressure therapy (NPWT) can help to promote angiogenesis and granulation, absorb tissue exudate, inhibit bacterial proliferation. It also help with flap survival, saving crisis flaps, and accelerating wound healing of donor site. Therefore, the NPWT is widely used in tissue repairment and reconstruction. This article reviewed and summarized the mechanism of NPWT, as well as its application in the donor and recipient site of flap.
