No complications, reinterventions or recurrences were documented. Despite the apparent heterogeneity, all techniques provided favorable outcomes. Also closed incision negative pressure wound therapy and PICO © device were discussed. Studies demonstrated considerable heterogeneity regarding the location of incision, creation of prepectoral pocket, and surgical safety margin.
Results: The systematic review provided 10 articles presenting 23 cases. Moreover, patients treated at our institution between 20 were retrospectively identified and analyzed. Methods: The PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for publications on the use of negative pressure wound therapy for subcutaneous emphysema following thoracic surgery, trauma or spontaneous pneumothorax. In addition, our institutional experience is reported through a case-series. This study provides a systematic review of the available literature on the effectiveness of negative pressure wound therapy as treatment for massive subcutaneous emphysema. However, its use is sparsely reported, and a variety of techniques are being described. To resolve this emphysema in short-term, negative pressure wound therapy could be applied as added treatment modality.
