Summary
This study tested a vacuum-assisted closure device (Prevena) on the surgical wounds of 104 adults who had spinal fusion surgery. The goal was to see if the device could reduce problems like infections, wound reopening, and fluid buildup under the skin. Researchers also tracked skin damage and whether patients needed to be readmitted to the hospital for wound issues.
