The concept of DCO is an extension of damage control surgery or damage limitation surgery (DCS\/DLS). Recently, it has become clear that certain patients, following extensive soft tissue trauma, could benefit from the idea of DCS. In the management of severe lower extremity trauma with exposed fracture sites, aggressive early wound excision debridement, early internal fixation, and vascularized wound coverage within a few days after trauma were proposed. A negative-pressure dressing can be easily and rapidly applied to obtain a temporary closure between surgical stages. While negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has clear indications in the management of chronic wounds, its applications in the acute setting in victims of polytrauma are uneven. We conducted a review of the current clinical literature to evaluate the role of NPWT in this field, which points out that the negative pressure, applied immediately after the first debridement, seems to be an optimal bridge to the final reconstruction up to 7 days.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1606542","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,6]],"date-time":"2017-10-06T18:53:25Z","timestamp":1507316005000},"page":"S08-S13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"special_numbering":"S","title":["Role of Negative Pressure Therapy as Damage Control in Soft Tissue Reconstruction for Open Tibial Fractures"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Luigi","family":"Valdatta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology and Life Sciences, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of Insubria, Varese, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierluigi","family":"Tos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology for Hand, ASST Gaetano Pini, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salvatore","family":"D'Arpa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Ghent University Hospital, Gent, Belgium"},{"name":"Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Surgical, Oncological and Oral Sciences, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luigi","family":"Troisi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Southmead Hospital, North Bristol NHS Trust, Bristol, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pellegatta","family":"Igor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology and Life Sciences, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of Insubria, Varese, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Federica","family":"Corradi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology and Life Sciences, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of Insubria, Varese, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Umraz","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Southmead Hospital, North Bristol NHS Trust, Bristol, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Cherubino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology and Life Sciences, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of Insubria, Varese, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,6]]},"container-title":["Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0037-1606542.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,19]],"date-time":"2017-12-19T07:53:06Z","timestamp":1513669986000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0037-1606542"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,10]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"S 01","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,6]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0037-1606542","relation":{},"ISSN":["0743-684X","1098-8947"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0743-684X","type":"print"},{"value":"1098-8947","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,10]]}}}
