The greatest epidermal, dermal and total skin thickness are found in the upper lip, right lower nasal sidewall, and left lower nasal sidewall respectively. The least epidermal skin thickness is in the posterior auricular skin. The least dermal skin thickness, and the least total skin thickness, are both in the upper medial eyelid.

The results of this meta-analysis suggest that closed incision negative-pressure therapy is a potentially effective method for reducing surgical-site infections. It also appears that closed incision negative-pressure therapy may be associated with a decreased incidence of dehiscence, but the published data available were too heterogeneous to perform meta-analysis.
