Summary
This study tested whether using a negative pressure wound therapy device (a special vacuum bandage) for a longer time after surgery could lower the chance of wound infections in people with gastrointestinal cancer. About 290 patients took part. The goal was to see if this approach helps patients heal better and get back to their cancer treatments faster.
