Core Tip	Treating non-healing lumbar incision post-radiotherapy is challenging, especially for midline incisions after lumbar spine surgery, which are difficult to heal. The current approach involves repeated wound cleaning and dressing changes, with unsatisfactory results. We used vacuum sealing drainage in a patient with radiation dermatitis who developed a non-healing wound after lumbar spinal surgery. The method is not only simple to perform but also shows clinical effectiveness. This is the first case of non-healing lumbar incision post-radiotherapy successfully treated using closed negative pressure drainage.
