Previous Irradiation

(1) Background: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been effectively used for wound management in comparison to traditional dressings. The purpose of this study was to provide an evidence-based review of NPWT in head and neck cancer patients, as well as the impact of previous irradiation and other risk factors on wound healing. (2) Material and Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search in PubMed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases for relevant literature. (3) Results: 15 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The most common etiologies requiring NPWT were defects post tumor resection and flap reconstruction and oro/pharyngo-cutaneous fistulas. The neck was found to be the most common site of involvement (47.3%). The overall wound healing response rate was 87.5%. The median negative pressure recorded was 125 mm of Hg, with a median dressing change time of three days. Previous irradiation (p = 0.01; OR = 4.07) and diabetes mellitus (DM) (p = 0.001; OR = 5.62) were found to be significantly associated with delayed wound healing after NPWT. (4) Conclusion: NPWT treats complex wounds in head and neck cancer patients and should represent a significant armamentarium in head and neck cancers. Previous irradiation and DM have detrimental effects on wound healing after NPWT.
