Abstrakt:	Objective: To describe the use of negative pressure wound therapy and hydrofiber dressing with silver in a pediatric patient with a hard-to-heal surgical wound infection. Method: This is a descriptive professional experience report on the use of conventional dressings and negative pressure wound therapy in a pediatric patient with a surgical wound infection. It was developed in 2023 at a Public Health Service that is a reference in the care of pediatric patients in the state of Paraná. Results: The surgical wound dehiscence started 12 days after peritoneostomy. Initially, the wound was treated with hydrofiber dressing with silver for 22 days and subsequently, negative pressure wound therapy was used for 15 days, regenerating the wound. Conclusion: Negative pressure wound therapy in pediatrics proved to be safe, effective and efficient for the treatment of complex wounds and corroborated the skin regeneration process, as did hydrofiber dressing with silver.
