title: PICO™ incision closure in oncoplastic breast surgery: a case series.
abstract: Single-use negative pressure wound therapy (PICO™) has been used on high-risk surgically incised wounds with encouraging results, but there is no evidence for its use in oncoplastic breast surgery. This article reports a case series with closed incisions in oncoplastic breast procedures following the introduction of PICO™.
