Abstract

The goal of this research is to evaluate the results of using negative pressure wound therapy in the treatment of chronic ulcers of the skin. This study was conduct of  11 patients diagnosed with Chronic Ulcers, treated with NPWT at Bach Mai Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021, specifically retrospectively from October 2021, prospective from October 2021 to December 2021. The study method was cross-sectional study. The result showed that the age group 17-60 accounted for the highest rate of 54.5%. The mean age of the study was 57.6 ± 14.8 years old. The type of chronic diabetic ulcer and chronic non-healing ulcerated tophaceous gout accounted for a high rate of 27.3%. The average NPWT time were 6.7 ± 2.5 days. The majority of patients after NPWT performed thin skin grafting with the rate of 36.3%. The result of surgical treatment after NPWT was 90.9% success. The mean hospitalization day was 26.7 ± 9.0 days. We conclude that the negative pressure wound therapy is a very effective way to support the treatment of chronic ulcers, helping to reduce wound size, eliminate inflammation and bacterial, prepare good wound bed to perform skin graft to assist for the next plastic surgical wound closure.
