Summary

This study tests whether a special vacuum dressing placed on the surgical wound can reduce complications like infections and slow healing after lower limb sarcoma surgery. About 291 adults who had radiation before surgery will be randomly assigned to get either the vacuum dressing or a standard one. The goal is to see if the vacuum approach leads to fewer wound problems, shorter hospital stays, and lower healthcare costs.
