“…Así, tras la aplicación de la terapia VAC ®, realizamos un injerto autólogo de piel parcial; en este sentido, varias publicaciones evidencian un aumento estadísti-camente significativo en la capacidad de prendimiento de los injertos de piel parcial con la aplicación simultanea de terapia de presión negativa (7,8), lo que probablemente se debe al hecho de convertir la nutrición pasiva del injerto, observada en las primeras 48 horas, en un proceso activo debido al gradiente de presiones generado.…”

Trabajo galardonado con el "Reconocimiento en el cuidado de heridas complejas con terapia de presión negativa 2010-2011", convocado por la Revista de Cirugía Plástica Ibero-Latinoamericana y la Fundación Docente de la Sociedad Española de Cirugía Plástica, Reparadora y Estética (SECPRE) con la colaboración de KCI®, entregado en el XLVI Congreso Nacional de la SECPRE, Murcia (España), Junio de 2011.Silva Bueno, M. ResumenLa fascitis necrosante es una rara infección de tejidos blandos con una alta tasa de morbi-mortalidad. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 44 años diagnosticada de fascitis necrosante por E. coli en el contexto clínico de inmunosupresión por trasplante renal. Logramos un tratamiento exitoso mediante la asociación de desbridamiento quirúrgico, antibioticoterapia intravenosa y curas con terapia de presión negativa (VAC ®), seguido de injertos autólogos de piel parcial.Remarcamos las ventajas clínicas de la terapia de presión negativa en el manejo y curación de heridas complejas. Palabras clave Fascitis necrosante, Terapia de vacío. Código numérico 161-1526 AbstractNecrotizing fasciitis is a rare soft tissue infection which presents a high rate of morbi-mortality. We describe the case of a 44 years old patient diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis caused by E. coli, in the context of immunosuppression due to renal transplantation. Successful treatment was achieved by combining surgical debridement, intravenous antibiotic treatment and vacuum assisted closure therapy (VAC ®) completed by autologous split skin grafts.We stress the clinical benefits of subatmospheric pressure therapy in the management and healing of complex wounds.

“…[19], [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Obtaining such a seal can be particularly difficult near the anus or vagina or where the surrounding skin is moist. These problems can sometimes be overcome by the use of a hydrocolloid dressing such as Duoderm, which is first applied around the wound and used as a base for the adhesive membrane.…”

BACKGROUNDThe application of controlled levels of negative pressure has been shown to accelerate debridement and promote healing in many different types of wounds. The optimum level of negative pressure appears to be around 125 mmHg below ambient and there is evidence that this is most effective if applied in a cyclical fashion of five minutes on and two minutes off. It is believed that the negative pressure assists with removal of interstitial fluid, decreasing localised oedema and increasing blood flow. This in turn de creases tissue bacterial levels. Additionally, mechanical deformation of cells is thought to result in protein and matrix molecule synthesis, which increases the rate of cell proliferation. Despite the significant costs involved, the technique is said to compare favourably in financial terms with conventional treatments in the management of difficult to heal wounds.

“…Negative pressure dressing (VAC® therapy) can be used to facilitate skin graft adherence when grafting difficult wounds (e.g. radiated wounds, wounds with irregular or mobile recipient beds and in difficult anatomic locations (Schneider et al, 1998;Scherer et al, 2002) (Fig. 7a,b,c,d.).…”
