Deep Surgical Site Infections with Fascial Dehiscence: A Microbiological Analysis and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy- Trend of Surgical Site Infections in a High-Volume Hospital

Despite the significant medical progress deep surgical site infections continue to be unresolved problem worldwide. On other hand, although negative pressure wound therapy has been received worldwide recognition, few studies examined its effectiveness in fascial dehiscence. The aim was to perform a microbiological and cost analysis of deep surgical site infections with fascial dehiscence, to delineate the overall trend of surgical
site infections for our hospital and to examine the effectiveness of negative pressure wound therapy in these cases.
