PURPOSE: Pediatric negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is widely used, but etiology- and age-informed real-world benchmarks are limited. We compared treatment burden and closure trajectories across pediatric wound categories.

METHODS: Retrospective single-center cohort of children (< 18 years) treated with NPWT for open wounds (2020-2025). Wounds were categorized as surgical (G1), acute (G2), chronic (G3), and burns (G4). NPWT was performed in accordance with an age-adapted institutional protocol in continuous mode; dressing changes were usually performed every 72 h.

RESULTS: 106 patients (median age 144 months, IQR 60-180) were included: G1 42, G2 22, G3 31, G4 11. Age distribution differed by group (p < 0.001), and instillation use varied (p = 0.014). Duration was longest in G3 (median 13 [8,-24] days) and shortest in G4 (median 6 [5,-9] days), while G1 and G2 were similar. Median cycle counts were similar across groups. Re-debridement was least frequent in G1. Definitive outcomes differed by etiology: primary closure predominated in G1, secondary healing in G3, and spontaneous closure in G4; grafting occurred mainly in burns, and flap reconstruction was rare.

CONCLUSIONS: NPWT was feasible across heterogeneous pediatric wounds when used with a standardized, age-adapted approach. Etiology-specific differences in burden and outcomes inform expectations and support prospective multicenter evaluation.
