Vacuum-Assisted Closure of Complex Perineal Wounds

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 2004
The Vacuum-assisted Closure device decreases the time to wound healing, thus increasing the deposition of granulation tissue, and decreasing the use of wound care specialists. Perineal wounds present a special challenge. We present four cases of complex perineal wounds in which the Vacuum-assisted Closure device was used.
