About this trial
This is a prospective, open-label, non-randomized interventional feasibility study with a nested qualitative analysis. The study exploratively verifies the feasibility of targeted prophylactic closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) in clinical practice for patients with a high predicted risk of wound healing complications and compares the 30-day incidence of postoperative complications with standard dressing.
Participants will:
* Get ciNPWT or standard dressing after planned laparotomy * Answer the questionairs about qualite of life * Will visit the clinic 30 days after surgery to see the final result

Secondary outcomes
Objective assessment of wound healing
Objective assessment of wound healing using the ASEPSIS (Additional treatment, the presence of Serous discharge, Erythema, Purulent exudate, and Separation of the deep tissues, the Isolation of bacteria, and the duration of inpatient Stay = ASEPSIS) scoring system (scale 0-100, higher number = worse outcome).
Subjective assessment of pain
Pain assessment using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS, scale 0-10, higher number = worse outcome) at rest and during movement.
Subjective assessment of quality of life
Patient-Reported Outcomes including the 5-level version of Quality of life EuroQol Group questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L, scale 5-25, higher number = worse outcome).
Subjective treatment satisfaction
Treatment satisfaction and patient experience via an original questionnaire (scale 8-40, higher number = worse outcome).
