简要总结
Primary closure or skin grafting of the donor site after harvest of a anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) is associated with significant morbidity. Incisional negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) may decrease complications in high-risk incisions. Successful use of NPWT has been reported in the treatment of ALT flap donor site wounds in a retrospective observational study, but no prospective study of NPWT application in the ALT flap donor site has been reported. This study aims to assess the incidence of complications at ALT flap donor site with an incisional NPWT device, PREVENA™. A prospective, controlled, pair-matched study has been designed to compare the effectiveness, complication rate, and scar quality of ALT flap donor site between using incisional NPWT and conventional bolster dressing.

结局指标
主要结局
Development of wound dehiscence or other wound complications in the ALT flap donor site area
时间窗: 30 days
Development of wound dehiscence or other wound complications in the ALT flap donor site area during the first 6 weeks postoperatively. Wound dehiscence is defined as the splitting apart or rupturing of the margins of a previously closed wound along some or all of its length. Surgical site infection (SSI) was reported according to the revised criteria outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), USA. To achieve a higher degree of objectivity, we will also adopt the modified ASEPSIS score criteria and definitions. The primary outcomes are assessed at the standardized follow-up visits by nurses and physicians in the hospital or in the outpatient clinic, who are not connected to the study and blinded to dressing allocation. The presence of dehiscence/infection at the ALT flap donor site, total or partial skin graft loss, and the need for another surgical procedure to the donor site are recorded.
次要结局
- donor site scar quality(6 months)
