Brief Summary  

This study is a randomized, open label, parallel group, single- centre trial comparing the safety and efficacy of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (at -125mmhg continiously for 5 days per cycle) and Conventional Wound Therapy once daily in 75 hospitalized patients with Post Operative Open Abdominal Wounds with intact fascial sheath, that will be conducted in a single tertiary care center in Eastern India. The primary outcome measure will be Gross and Percentage Area reduction of wound at Ten Days i.e. after two cycles of therapy. The secondary outcome will be Gross and Percentage Area reduction of wound at Five Days i.e. after single cycle of therapy.
