This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of VSD in promoting wound healing and reducing complications, such as re-infection, prolonged hospitalization, and need for further surgical interventions, in obstetric and gynecological patients who have developed surgical site infections following their primary procedures. The investigators hypothesize that VSD will lead to faster wound healing, fewer complications, and improved patient outcomes compared to conventional wound care in this specific patient population.

o Wounds will be managed with daily or twice-daily dressing changes using saline-moistened gauze, antiseptic solutions, and sterile dry dressings, as per standard hospital protocols for infected wounds
After initial debridement, a VSD system will be applied to the wound bed. The wound will be sealed with an adhesive drape, and connected to a negative pressure unit.
Time to complete wound healing
Defined as complete epithelialization of the wound, measured in days
Time frame: weekly follow up for one month after procedure
