    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-08-04) Arce Abarca, Oscar Guillermo; Valencia Alvarado, Nelly Alejandra; Gamarra Bustillos, Carlos
    The type of study is quantitative and the research design is a systematic review, less than 10 years old. 90% of the articles show the effectiveness of topical negative pressure therapy in reducing infections in the treatment of patients with surgical wounds. 10% did not demonstrate the effectiveness of this therapy because they reported that larger definitive trials were needed to clarify the clinical usefulness of negative pressure treatment of surgical wounds. It was evident in the research reviewed that there is effectiveness with the use of topical negative pressure therapy to reduce infections, considering the benefits: formation of granulation tissue, lower mortality and hospital stay time, and reduction of complications in the healing, which are determinants in the quality of life in patients with surgical wounds.
