This case highlights the ability and techniques used to maintain an airtight dressing seal in the perirectal region. Use of this dressing type post-skin grafting allowed for 100% graft adhesion and no bacterial contamination despite close proximity to the rectum. Favorable experience and outcome with this patient are strong indicators that NPWT should be considered as a viable treatment in pediatric populations and that situations where body contour or fluids may make NPWT difficult to administer should not be a deterrent to therapy.en-USBacterial InfectionsBandagesBurnsButtocksCombined Modality TherapyFemaleGraft SurvivalHumansInfantNegative-Pressure Wound TherapyOcclusive DressingsPolyurethanesSkin TransplantationSuctionTreatment OutcomeWound HealingPediatricsSurgeryJournal Articlehttps://escholarship.umassmed.edu/surgery_pp/1233335964surgery_pp/123
