Abstract

Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC), although a modern adjunct in wound management, has not been used previously in pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), probably to avoid the potential complications of ‘pathergy’. We would like to report our experience of VAC in three cases of PG with the relevant review of literature.
