New dressing may reduce wound problems after reconstructive surgery
NCT ID NCT04762732
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special vacuum dressing (called incisional negative pressure wound therapy) can help heal the thigh wound left after taking a skin flap for head and neck reconstruction. About 138 adults will be randomly assigned to get either the vacuum dressing or a standard bandage. The goal is to see if the new dressing lowers the chance of wound opening, infection, and poor scarring in the first 6 weeks after surgery.
