    Colorectal cancer surgeries have a high complication rate, particularly with anastomotic leaks occurring in up to 20% of cases.

  • 2

    Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) may reduce wound healing complications and surgical site infections after ileostomy closure.

  • 3

    A randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of NPWT in preventing complications post-ileostomy reversal.

  • 4

    Patients were randomly assigned to receive either NPWT or standard care after elective ileostomy closure.

  • 5

    The study aimed to demonstrate that NPWT could decrease wound healing complications by 80% compared to standard postoperative care.
