Summary

This study tests whether using a special wound vacuum (NPWT) right after emergency abdominal surgery can prevent infections in diabetic patients at high risk. About 110 adults with diabetes will be randomly assigned to get either the vacuum or standard care. Researchers will also check if the extra cost is worth it for the healthcare system.
