Hospital, New Delhi. The potential candidates for the study were patients of 18 years and above who were admitted in surgical emergency and underwent emergency laparotomy by a midline incision. Fifty random patients were alternatively allotted to group A (25 patients) and group B (25 patients). In the patients of group A, closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) was applied on midline closed wound after an exploratory laparotomy procedure. The patients in group B, standard dry gauze dressing was done.\nResults:\nThe mean age of patients in group A and group B were 46.76\u00b112.20 and 41.96\u00b18.33 years, respectively (p-value-0.11). The wound infection was present in 12% of cases in group A and 32% in group B, but when we calculate the p-value, it was found to be statistically non-significant (p-value-0.08). Similarly, seroma formation and wound dehiscence were found less in group A as compared to group B but not reached up to a statistically significant limit (p-value 0.55 and 0.38 respectively). The frequency of dressing change was 1-2 per week in 92% of cases in group A while it was 3-4 per week in 68% of cases in group B. The mean time of the frequency of dressing change was 1.24\u00b10.72 per week and 4.28\u00b11.90 per week in both the groups respectively (p-value &lt;0.001). There was no significant (p&gt;0.05) difference in the duration of hospital stay between group A (mean hospital stay 8.20\u00b12.34 days) and group B (mean hospital stay 8.21\u00b13.37 days).\nConclusion:\nClosed incision negative pressure wound therapy has no advantages over conventional dressing in terms of post-operative complications and hospital stay. However, it reduces the frequency of dressing change significantly, which reduces the mental stress of the patient and the burden of changing daily dressing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0014.9759","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,5]],"date-time":"2021-07-05T04:56:19Z","timestamp":1625460979000},"page":"26-33","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Comparison of closed incision negative pressure wound therapy with conventional dressing for reducing wound complications in emergency laparotomy"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Arun","family":"Garg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sneh","family":"Jayant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arun Kumar","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lalit Kumar","family":"Bansal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abid","family":"Wani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Poras","family":"Chaudhary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3689","reference":[{"key":"216421r1","unstructured":"Farquharson E.L., Rintoul R.F.: Farquharson's textbook of operative surgery.
