Study Summary
This is a study comparing two methods of dressing a post operative wound that are currently in practice. One method is a traditional dry gauze dressing. The other method is using a negative pressure dressing that provides gentle suction on the wound. The investigators will attempt to determine how well the use of post-operative negative pressure dressing reduces wound healing problems in patients who have surgery after radiation for a sarcoma in the thigh or leg.
Primary Outcome
To estimate the wound complication rate of post-operative negative pressure dressings and traditional dry dressings, and risk of secondary interventions after resection of soft tissue sarcoma in lower extremities that have received pre-operative radiation. Post-operative pain severity assessed by Visual analogue scale at 2 weeks and 6 months post-operatively where visual analogue scale ranges from zero to ten where (0 = no pain, 10 = maximum pain imaginable).
