Clinical Trial Summary
Porcine derived products are being used as biological grafts in mainly in orthopedic surgery,
neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery and general surgery. It is well known that consuming
pork or porcine products are prohibited in some religions or divisions of religions. It may
be a tender point for patients undergoing surgery in which porcine derived products are
utilized.In this survey study we aimed to determine the level of awareness and perception of
surgeons with an international anquette. The study will also reveal the choices of surgeons
about this issue both in elective and emergency procedures
Description:
In the survey study an online anquette form will be sent through online surgery networks both
professional and social media. The questionnaire will not include questions defining the
responders individually. The questions are related to frequency of utilization of porcine
derived products in surgery, surgeons' level of awareness about utilization of porcine
products, surgeons' level of religiousity and surgeons' choices about porcine derived product
utilization and consent of patients. After collection of responses the data will be analyzed
to discover current status of porcine derived surgical product utilization and surgeons'
perception about the issue. The anquette will be distributed worldwide to surgeons in
different branches of surgery. Literature seems to be lacking of that kind of study
