Prophylactic Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Obese Women After Cesarean Delivery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE:To summarize available studies on wound complication outcomes after prophylactic negative pressure wound therapy for obese women (body mass index 30 or greater).DATA SOURCES:We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis using electronic database search (PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nur
