Abstract
Severe subcutaneous emphysema (SSE) is the presence of a high-volume accumulation of air in the subcutaneous tissue caused by traumatic injuries, infections, iatrogenic causes, or can also manifest spontaneously. A variety of techniques have been reported, with varying levels of success.
We present a multicenter case series detailing four patients who developed SSE and were treated with Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (INPWT). All patients significantly improved with the INPWT treatment within 6 to 48 h. Our experience suggests INPWT is a valuable procedure available for treating SSE and recommend prospective randomized studies be conducted to determine targeted patient selection and clinical application of INPWT among the SSE patient population.
期刊介绍：
Trauma Case Reports is the only open access, online journal dedicated to the publication of case reports in all aspects of trauma care and accident surgery. Case reports on all aspects of trauma management, surgical procedures for all tissues, resuscitation, anaesthesia and trauma and tissue healing will be considered for publication by the international editorial team and will be subject to peer review. Bringing together these cases from an international authorship will shed light on surgical problems and help in their effective resolution.
