Depending on their location, sarcomas can reach a considerable size, which increases the risk of wound complications (WC) after resections.

The VAC (Vacuum-Assisted Closure) therapy has been shown to have a positive effect on wound healing, but there are limited studies for its use after sarcoma resections.
