Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is aimed to examine the value of incisional negative pressure therapy after resection of soft tissue tumors. Its a prospective randomized trial comparing incisional negative pressure to standard wound dressings.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Wound healing after resection of large soft tissue tumors is often impaired by large dead space and fluid collection, potentially resulting in seroma formation and infection. Aim of the study is to compare negative pressure wound therapy to standard wound dressing in terms of quantity of drainage fluid and wound healing complications.
