AB  - This study aimed to explore the effects of early incisional negative pressure 
      wound therapy (INPWT) on cosmetic suture wounds and postoperative scar 
      hyperplasia. We retrospectively evaluated 120 patients who underwent 
      abdominoperineal resection at the Changhai Hospital between February 2018 and 
      October 2021 and divided them into two groups according to their treatment: the 
      INPWT group (n = 60) and the control group (n = 60). The quality of post-surgical 
      wound healing in the two groups was evaluated. The Patient Scar Assessment Scale 
      (PSAS), the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), and the visual analogue scale (VAS) were 
      used to evaluate the surgical incision scar at 1-year follow-up. At this 
      follow-up visit, 115 patients underwent reexamination; five patients were lost to 
      follow-up, including two patients in the INPWT group and three patients in the 
      control group. The INPWT group showed better wound healing than the control group 
      (P < .05). The proportion of patients who received INPWT was significantly higher 
      in the non-surgical site infection (SSI) group than in the SSI group (P < .05). 
      The PSAS, VSS and VAS scores were significantly improved in the INPWT group 
      compared with those in the control group (P < .05). Our results show that INPWT 
      improved the quality of cosmetic suture wounds and reduced the degree of 
      postoperative scar hyperplasia.
