Summary
This study tests whether a negative pressure wound therapy device (a small vacuum pump on a dressing) can improve healing of the perineal wound after surgery for rectal cancer. About 100 adults who have had chemoradiotherapy and then surgery will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the device reduces infections and other wound problems within 45 days after the operation.
