Core Tip	Combining incisional negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) with a fenestrated Penrose drain promotes wound healing and manages fluid accumulation in dependent areas. In paraplegic patients, the ischial area is particularly susceptible to fecal and urine contamination. This approach protects the ischial region from contamination and reduces the need for frequent dressing changes. The timing and pressure settings for NPWT can be flexibly determined based on flap circulation viability and accompanying procedures such as skin grafts. This report provides a reliable option for managing refractory seromas in cases of complex pressure ulcers.
