Vacuum Sealing Drainage Therapy for Refractory Infectious Wound on 16 Renal Transplant Recipients

Refractory infectious wound on renal transplantation (RT) recipients significantly prolongs hospital stay, increases medical costs and threatens the survival of allograft. Vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) therapy is a new technique for managing wound based on the principle of application of controlled negative pressure. The aim of this study was to summarize the efficacy and safety of VSD therapy in the management of refractory infectious wound following RT.
