    Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has a reported success rate of approximately 85% for salvaging infected mesh.

  • 3

    The study analyzed 61 patients, revealing an 80.3% success rate for mesh salvage using NPWT in cases of surgical site infections.

  • 4

    Most patients in the study were female, with a median age of 70 years, and the majority had incisional hernias.
