Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Preoperatively Irradiated Lower Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcoma Wounds
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT02638298
Purpose
This is a study comparing two methods of dressing a post operative wound that are currently
in practice. One method is a traditional dry gauze dressing. The other method is using a
negative pressure dressing that provides gentle suction on the wound.
The investigators will attempt to determine how well the use of post-operative negative
pressure dressing reduces wound healing problems in patients who have surgery after radiation
for a sarcoma in the thigh or leg.
