Abstract
Perineal wound healing disorders are one of the major complications following abdominoperineal rectum extirpation. We evaluated the impact of an "incisional negative pressure wound therapy" (iNPWT) system after abdominoperineal rectum extirpation in six patients. All patients had a neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy with 50.4Gy and 5-FU. Five of the six patients (83%) experienced complication-free healing of the perineal wound after 5 to 12days of iNPWT. One patient developed a wound healing disorder 8days after abdominoperineal rectum extirpation during current iNPWT. Use of an iNPWT system can be of favor after abominoperineal rectum extirpation.
