Sitoredüktif Cerrahi Sonrasi Başarisiz Yara Yeri İyileşmesinde Vakum Asiste Kapatma Tekniği Kullanimi: Bir Olgu Sunumu Using Vacuum- Assisted Closure Technique For Wound Failure After Cytoreductive Surgery: A Case Report

Wound failures in healing brings negative results such as high cost and along duration of treatment. The vacuum -assisted closure technique ( VAK) is a technique that keeps the wound environment under sterile condition and decreases the frequency of changing protective covers of wound. By creating mechanical stress with negative pressure of the vacuum system; wound edges diminish, granulation formation accelerates, cellular proliferation and neoangiogenesis increases. There are only a limited number of case series and case reports are available on the use of VAK in obstetrics/gynecology practices. In this report, we presented superficial wound separation treated with VAK in an obese patient having a cytoreductive surgery for clear cell ovarian carcinoma.
