Mehr zum Buch

Recent advances in surgery have significantly improved the treatment of wounds and healing disorders, making them central to modern perioperative care. The focus has shifted from merely curing patients to actively preventing infections and complicated wounds. Early and effective interventions are now prioritized for faster healing, enhancing patients' quality of life and functionality. A key tool in achieving these goals is negative pressure wound therapy (NPT), which is both simple and adaptable for personalized treatment. NPT stimulates healing factors despite primary wound defects and effectively prevents and treats infections, offering extensive clinical applications. Recent findings have expanded its use, including the rapid development of endoscopic vacuum therapy. This method allows for modifications in indications and treatment regimens, paving the way for innovative approaches. Sharing knowledge about successes and failures in this treatment is crucial, as each dressing can represent a unique solution. The exchange of experiences is invaluable for improving treatment effectiveness. This book, created by experts in the field, serves to facilitate the practical application of these methods while outlining future directions for wound healing and collaborative success.
