The evolution of wound care has seen much technological advancement over many decades. Most recently, negative-pressure therapy, by which a vacuum pressure is applied through a wound bed, has dramatically improved the surgical outcomes of complex wounds. Although initial studies focused on wounds to the abdomen, torso, and extremities, more publications are appearing that demonstrate the efficacy of negative-pressure wound therapy in the head and neck. This article reviews the history and evolution of negative-pressure therapy, highlights the current opinions on its mechanism of action, and summarizes its use in complex head and neck wounds.
几十年来，伤口护理领域取得了诸多技术进步。最近，负压疗法通过在伤口床施加真空压力，显著改善了复杂伤口的手术效果。尽管最初的研究集中在腹部、躯干和四肢的伤口，但越来越多的出版物表明负压伤口疗法对头颈部伤口也有效。本文回顾了负压疗法的历史和发展，强调了目前对其作用机制的看法，并总结了其在复杂头颈部伤口中的应用。
