Perineal wound complications after abdominoperineal resection continue to be a significant challenge. Complications, ranging from 14% up to 60%, prolong hospitalization, increase risk of readmission and reoperation, delay the start of adjuvant therapy, and place psychological stress on the patient and family. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of closed incision negative pressure therapy on perineal wound healing. This was a retrospective study. The study was conducted in an academic community hospital. Patients who underwent abdominoperineal resection from 2012 to 2020 were included. Perineal wound complications within 30 and 180 days were the primary outcome measures. A total of 45 patients were included in the study. Of these, 31 patients were managed with closed incision negative pressure therapy. The overall perineal wound complications were less frequent in the closed incision negative pressure therapy group (10/31; 32.2%) compared to the control group (10/14; 71.4%; = 5.99 [ p = 0.01]). In the closed incision negative pressure therapy group, 2 patients (20%) did not heal within 180 days and no patient required reoperation or readmission. In the control group, 4 patients (44%) had not healed at 180 days and 1 patient required flap reconstruction. When the effect of other variables was controlled, closed incision negative pressure therapy resulted in an 85% decrease in the odds of wound complications (adjusted OR 0.15 [95% CI, 0.03-0.60]; p = 0.01). The nonrandomized nature and use of historical controls in this study are its limitations. The ease of application and the overall reduction in the incidence and severity of complications may offer an option for perineal wound management and possibly obviate the need for more expensive therapies. Further prospective controlled trials are required to effectively study its efficacy. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B895 . ANTECEDENTES:Las complicaciones de la herida perineal, después de la resección abdominoperineal, continúan siendo un desafío importante. Las complicaciones, que van desde el 14% hasta el 60%, prolongan la hospitalización, aumentan el riesgo de reingreso y reintervención, retrasan el inicio de la terapia adyuvante y generan estrés psicológico en el paciente y su familia.OBJETIVO:Evaluar el impacto de la terapia de presión negativa con incisión cerrada en la cicatrización de heridas perineales.DISEÑO:Estudio retrospectivo.ENTORNO CLINICO:Hospital comunitario académico.PACIENTES:Se incluyeron pacientes sometidos a resección abdominoperineal entre 2012 y 2020.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE VALORACION:Las complicaciones de la herida perineal dentro de los 30 y 180 días fueron las principales medidas de valoración.RESULTADOS:Se incluyeron en el estudio a un total de 45 pacientes. De estos, 31 pacientes fueron tratados con terapia de presión negativa con incisión cerrada. Las complicaciones generales de la herida perineal fueron menos frecuentes en el grupo de terapia de presión negativa con incisión cerrada (10/31, 32,2%) en comparación con el grupo de control (10/14, 71,4%) (X_1 ^ 2 = 5,99 [ p = 0,01]). En el grupo de terapia de presión negativa con incisión cerrada, dos pacientes (20%) no cicatrizaron en 180 días y ningún paciente requirió reintervención o readmisión. En el grupo de control, cuatro pacientes (44%) no habían cicatrizado a los 180 días y un paciente requirió reconstrucción con colgajo. Cuando se controló el efecto de otras variables, la terapia de presión negativa con incisión cerrada resultó con una disminución del 85% en las probabilidades de complicaciones de la herida (OR ajustado, 0.15 [IC 95%, 0,03-0,60]; p = 0,01).LIMITACIONES:La naturaleza no aleatoria y el uso de controles históricos en este estudio, son limitaciones.CONCLUSIÓNES:La facilidad de aplicación, reducción general de la incidencia y gravedad de las complicaciones, pueden ofrecer una opción para el manejo de las heridas perineales y posiblemente obviar la necesidad de tratamientos más costosos. Se necesitan más ensayos controlados prospectivos para efectivamente estudiar la eficacia. Consulte Video Resumen en http://links.lww.com/DCR/B895 . (Traducción-Dr. Fidel Ruiz Healy ).

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons. Retrospective Study,Studies, Retrospective,Study, Retrospective
D054843 Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy The application of a vacuum across the surface of a wound through a foam dressing cut to fit the wound. This removes wound exudates, reduces build-up of inflammatory mediators, and increases the flow of nutrients to the wound thus promoting healing.
