Use of negative-pressure dressings to manage a difficult surgical neck wound. Ear, nose, & throat journal Shreenivas, S., Magnuson, J. S., Rosenthal, E. L. 2006; 85 (6): 390-391

Abstract

We used negative-pressure dressings to treat a poorly healing cervical rotation flap following radical neck dissection in an elderly man. The wound had failed to heal properly after 2 weeks of conservative management. Following application of the negative-pressure dressings, the wound granulated quickly and healed well by secondary intention.
