Clinical Trial Summary

Surgical site infections (SSI) remain one of the most common complications associated with reversal of ileostomy and colostomy. In addition to having detrimental impacts on the patient's post-operative course, they also pose significant financial ramifications. There have been comparative studies in the use of negative pressure wound therapy in reducing surgical site infections. PREVENA Incision Management System is a type of disposable, customizable and powered negative pressure system designed to help manage and protect surgical incisions and their surrounding environment. It is now commonly used as a surgical wound dressings in the setting of vascular surgeries, post-cesarean infections and colorectal resections. Our study is designed as a randomised controlled trial to examine if PREVERA therapy as a NPWT is more superior than conventional dressings in reducing the rate of surgical site infections.


Clinical Trial Description

Background: Surgical site infections (SSI) remain one of the most common complications associated with reversal of ileostomy. In addition to having detrimental impacts on the patient's post-operative course, they also pose significant financial ramifications. The use of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is one strategy that has been extensively studied in reducing the rate of surgical site infections. PREVENA Therapy is a form of Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (INPWT) that has been widely used in the management of closed surgical incisions. They are delivered as prophylactic measures in preventing surgical complications such as surgical site infections. Trial Design: This study is designed as a randomized, controlled, open-label, multi-center superiority trial with 2 parallel groups and primary endpoint of surgical site infection at day 7 (after 7-day use of PREVENA) and day 30. Study Setting The trial will be conducted at two different hospitals located in Dublin, Ireland: St James Hospital - Ireland's largest acute academic teaching hospital (Academic Partner - Trinity College Dublin); Tallaght University Hospital - (Academic Partner - Trinity College Dublin) ;
