Examples of two patients undergoing negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) augmented skin grafting. (a) Initial situation; (b) wound condition after NPWT treatment (day 7); (c) wound condition at the time of grafting (day 21); (d) appearance of the graft directly after full-thickness grafting; (e) at day 3 after grafting; and (f) at day 10 after grafting in a patient with an extremity wound. Free grafting was performed in the patient with fat tissue necrosis after an unsuccessful attempt at closure by local tissue advancement, and owing to a very slow tendency to heal by secondary intention. (g) Initial situation of a wound after fat tissue necrosis; (h) wound condition after NPWT treatment (day 9); (i) wound condition at the time of grafting (day 19); (j) appearance of the graft directly after full-thickness grafting, (k) at day 3 after grafting; and (l) at day 10 after grafting
