The specific aim of this study is to improve post-operative wound care in the morbidly-obese
body-contouring patient population following massive weight loss undergoing either
panniculectomy or formal abdominoplasty, those patients undergoing complex abdominal wall
reconstruction (i.e. ventral hernia repair) and breast reconstruction with acellular dermal
matrix, as well as patients undergoing regular lipo-abdominoplasty by comparing the
effectiveness of standard closed-suction drains versus the immediate application of
continuous negative pressure via a NPWT (negative pressure wound therapy) device attached to
non-compressible drains. Additionally, we aim to demonstrate increases both in
cost-effectiveness and quality of life in these patients with the use of the NPWT wound care
apparatus.
Hypothesis 1 Continuous negative pressure devices decrease the incidence of wound
complications in comparison with conventional closed suction drains when used in patients
after massive weight loss undergoing body-contouring procedures (panniculectomies alone and
formal abdominoplasties), and in patients undergoing VHR and breast reconstruction with
acellular dermal matrix, as well as those undergoing regular lipo-abdominoplasty.
Hypothesis 2 Although initially more costly than traditional closed suction drains, the use
of continuous negative pressure devices will in the long-term result in lower total health
care costs in the above-stated patient population due to a decreased need for additional
procedures and/or clinical management, including surgical interventions, hospital
admissions, administration of antibiotics, multiple follow-up office visits, and chronic
wound care.
Hypothesis 3 Better quality of life is associated with the use of continuous negative
pressure devices compared to closed suction drains in these patient populations.
