Summary
This study looks at whether a special vacuum dressing (incisional negative pressure wound therapy) can reduce wound complications like infection or splitting open after thigh flap surgery. About 138 adults having head and neck reconstruction with a thigh flap will be randomly assigned to get either the vacuum dressing or a standard bandage. The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer wound problems and better scar quality.
