Abstract
Surgical site occurrences (SSOs) are common in patients undergoing operative procedures, especially in the form of surgical site infections (SSIs). Multiple studies show that obesity, tobacco use, prolonged surgical time, and diabetes mellitus are the major risk factors for SSIs. SSIs increase healthcare costs and often result in morbidity. Many surgeons are currently using closed-incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) to counter SSIs. This method makes it easier for them to manage closed and surgical incisions. This technique has already been applied in the plastic surgery field. This study discusses how the use of ciNPT is helping surgeons to reduce complications related to SSOs. The technique has been reported to minimize the rate of reoperations, readmissions, and other wound-related complications. Using ciNPT with novel dressing has proved to be a significantly effective clinical intervention method in managing clean and closed wounds. The novel dressing protects the incision from external contamination and minimizes lateral tension.

Summary
Managing chronic and complex wound etiologies can be difficult and cause tremendous economic burden to healthcare organizations [1]. Closedincision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) with novel dressings is divided into three phases, i.e., inflammation, remodeling, and proliferation and tissue formation [6] This novel closed-incision management (CIM) has become a convenient method for negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), with the clinical advantage of helping patients with postoperative complications [7]. The use of ciNPT has helped to significantly reduce healthcare costs in many cases This is associated with the accuracy of the process, including lowering site complications on the patient's surgical site during the postoperative period. Patients, insurance companies, and nursing staff all benefit from NPWT There is a need for further studies that involve a more detailed comparison between the efficacy of ciNPT and standard therapies on patient outcomes and wound healing
