Brief Summary:
Primary closure or skin grafting of the donor site after harvest of a anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) is associated with significant morbidity. Incisional negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) may decrease complications in high-risk incisions. Successful use of NPWT has been reported in the treatment of ALT flap donor site wounds in a retrospective observational study, but no prospective study of NPWT application in the ALT flap donor site has been reported. This study aims to assess the incidence of complications at ALT flap donor site with an incisional NPWT device, PREVENA™. A prospective, controlled, pair-matched study has been designed to compare the effectiveness, complication rate, and scar quality of ALT flap donor site between using incisional NPWT and conventional bolster dressing.
