Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is widely known in surgical practice. The initial indications for NPWT were chronic wounds, especially diabetic foot, vascular and decubitus ulcers, and infected traumatic wounds. Nowadays, the use has been widely increased. Although in the field of abdominal wall surgery, it has mainly been used in the treatment of surgical wound complications after hernia repair, other indications have been added after years of experience in the management of NPWT. Therefore, the aim of this article is to analyze and review the main indications of NPWT in abdominal wall surgery, as well as the advantages obtained with its application.
负压伤口治疗（NPWT）在外科实践中被广泛知晓。NPWT 的最初适应证为慢性伤口，特别是糖尿病足、血管和压疮溃疡以及感染性创伤伤口。如今，其应用已经得到了广泛的增加。尽管在腹壁外科领域，NPWT 主要用于疝修补术后手术伤口并发症的治疗，但在多年的 NPWT 管理经验后，已经增加了其他适应证。因此，本文旨在分析和回顾 NPWT 在腹壁外科中的主要适应证，以及其应用所获得的优势。
