title: [Vacuum dressing in septic wound treatment].
abstract: During the last 2 years, we used the vacuum-sealing technique in more than 300 patients. We have seen several advantages: clean and sterile wound dressing and safe wound healing. In addition, we have used the technique successfully in infected areas in combination with alloplastic material. The only problem we found is the dependency on operating theatres and a vacuum. We think the technique should be recommended for septic wounds in surgery.
