patients will receive placement of a sterile dressing of gauze and occlusive adhesive over the closed incision. The dressing's tubing will then be attached to a compact, portable negative-pressure therapy unit (Yuwell 7E-A portable suction unit) that will deliver -80 mm Hg of continuous pressure to the dressing and will remove exudates into a disposable canister for 4 days.

All subjects will be predetermined by their surgeon to undergo either a laparoscopic or robotic assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy depending upon their clinical evaluation. The participants will then be randomized to either Restorelle® or Vertessa® Y sacrocolpopexy according to a computer-generated randomization.

All patients will be blinded to their assignment, investigators will not be blinded.

No intervention; basic wound contact absorbent dressings will be used as per current standard of care.

PICO device will be used for prevention of wound complications. This is a portable negative pressure wound treatment device. Patients will have the device for 7 days after undergoing kidney transplant surgery.

Wound Complications

PICO device will be applied to the surgical wounds of kidney transplant patients who are enrolled in the PICO group. These patients will have this device on for 7 days after undergoing kidney transplant surgery.

Effects of Preventive Negative Pressure Wound Therapy With PICO on Surgical Wounds of Kidney Transplant Patients

Effects of Preventive Negative Pressure Wound Therapy With PICO on Surgical Wounds of Kidney Transplant Patients: A Pilot Trial

Primary outcome of this study will be 'post- KT wound complication (superficial wound dehiscence, evisceration, seromas, incisional hernias, wound infections and wound necrosis) rates'. The potential relation of these complications with PICO application will be assessed.

laparotomy intervention with the incision of 10 cm navel-pubis will be performed, splaying of the skin and subcutaneous layers, then will be incised the fascia plane, and muscles. Ten rabbits (hereafter defined as BPR1-BPR10) will receive 2x2cm2 samples of BP selfstanding felt in a pocket created between muscular fascia and large muscles of the abdominal wall.

Durability (in months) without recurrence of hernia and incisional hernia of surgical device.

Ability (number of mm displacement from the point of implantation at 12 weeks after BP implantation) of the BP as bio-adhesive tape for prosthetic materials to avoid displacement of implanted prosthesis.

toxicology of BP measured as number of BP fragments in bioptic samples of Bowman capsule of the nephron at 12 weeks

antineoplastic activity of BP device in the treatment of some solid cancer and hematopoietic system tumors: this item is measured ex vivo as the ability of BP to inhibit tumor cell replication (number of viable tumor cells in cultures after 48 hours of exposition to BP)

toxicology of BP measured as modifications of values (delta) of creatinine, transaminasis and PT, PTT, fibinogen in blood samples from the T0 to 12 weeks.
