Impaired wound healing is a frequent event in inguinal surgery and very common after lymphadenectomy for penile cancer. Although vacuum therapy has been reported to expedite the healing of complex wound failures, vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) has been reported to be contraindicated in malignancy. In the present study we evaluated the use of VAC in the treatment of complex wound failures following inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer in comparison to conventional wound care (CWC) implying debridement and saline-soaked gauze.
