Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been proposed to reduce SSIs by facilitating wound healing by increased perfusion, edema reduction, and bacterial control. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the effectiveness of NPWT compared with conventional dressings for prevention of surgical site infections in orthopedic and trauma surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A comprehensive literature search was performed across PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library in December 2024. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing NPWT with CD in patients undergoing joint replacement, trauma surgery, or spine surgery were included. Two independent reviewers conducted data extraction and assessed study quality using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool. Pooled outcomes were evaluated with odds ratios (ORs) computed for dichotomous variables and mean differences (MDs) for continuous outcomes.

Meta-analysis demonstrated that NPWT significantly reduced SSIs (pooled OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.50\u20130.82;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u20090.0005) and wound dehiscence (pooled OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.23\u20130.65;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u20090.0003).

Secondary analyses also demonstrated benefits for surgical wound dehiscence, length of hospital stay, and number of dressing changes. However, the certainty of evidence is moderate, and these findings should be interpreted with caution. Further well-designed, multicenter RCTs are warranted to confirm these benefits, assess long-term outcomes, and evaluate cost-effectiveness.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>Level of evidence<\/jats:italic>\n                      Level I.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>Registration:<\/jats:italic>\n                      CRD42024624188.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s10195-025-00889-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,16]],"date-time":"2025-12-16T10:24:15Z","timestamp":1765880655000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Negative pressure wound therapy for the prevention of surgical site infections in orthopedic and trauma surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-4264-7518","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Ebeid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Ebeid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Shalaby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Mohamed Noureldeen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Essa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khaled","family":"A.
