Gynaecological Wound Failure

Came across this awful image from an oncology site's article on wound failure to heal. The link wanted $40 for the full article and I could only obtain the following info:

Negative pressure wound vacuum therapy can expedite the healing of complex wound failures. Our aim was to evaluate the use of a vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) device to treat complex wound failures in gynecologic oncology patients.

The image below is from a Forty-six-year-old patient with recurrent squamous carcinoma of the vulva postoperative day 11 after a radical-wide local excision.

Yeah, when I first saw it small-size, I thought it was a bad abdominal injury.
