The same study also evaluated the different outcomes in terms of SSI rates among patients whose surgical wounds were medicated with wet to dry dressings and patients whose surgical wounds were medicated using negative pressure dressings: the result showed a nearly statistically significant difference ( p = 0.054), as negative pressure dressings were associated with a lower surgical site infection risk (6.4 vs. 15.7%) [ 23 ].
