Randomized Controlled Trial
Within-patient randomized clinical trial comparing incisional negative-pressure wound therapy with suction drains in gender-affirming mastectomies.
Incisional negative-pressure wound therapy (iNPWT) is widely adopted by different disciplines for multiple indications. Questions about the most appropriate uses and value of iNPWT have been raised. ⋯ Substituting short-term suction drains with iNPWT in gender-affirming mastectomies increased the seroma rates and did not decrease the amount of wound healing complications.
