title: [Special indications for negative pressure wound therapy in dermatologic surgery].
abstract: In recent years negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has gained more and more supporters in dermatologic surgery. NPWT has become one of the standard therapeutic options, especially for non-healing diabetic, venous and arterial ulcers of the legs. When managing large wounds after tumor surgery, NPWT is frequently used to induce granulation tissue and reduce wound size before the wound is closed with split- or full-thickness skin grafts or local flaps. In addition to these well-established uses, NPWT can be also employed for a variety of "new" or rare indications, some of which are presented in this review.
