    Flaps are essential in reconstructive surgery, providing improved wound coverage and functional restoration for complex tissue defects.

  • 2

    Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) enhances wound healing by improving tissue perfusion, reducing edema, and promoting granulation tissue formation.

  • 3

    Adjustable NPWT allows customization of treatment parameters, optimizing negative pressure levels and cycle types for individual patient needs.

  • 4

    This study systematically evaluates high and low NPWT gradients to determine their effects on flap viability and complication rates.

  • 5

    The research aims to provide data-driven guidance for safer and more effective NPWT practices in flap-based reconstructive surgeries.
