Combining Acellular Dermal Grafts With Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy in a Postsurgical Wound: A Case Report

Chronic wounds are expensive and burdensome to the health care system, with some acute wounds, such as wounds after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), contributing to this problem. The rate of MMS performed is increasing, and if they become nonhealing, they can be challenging to treat and necessitate proper care. Both acellular dermal grafts and negative-pressure wound therapy are therapies that can be used to treat complicated wounds, but the combination of these 2 therapies has not been extensively studied. The study authors report the successful use of an acellular dermal graft in combination with negative pressure wound therapy in healing a complicated post-MMS wound on the thigh.
