Postoperative Complications Clinical Trial
— SHOWEROfficial title:
Studying How Outpatient Water affEcts Risks With Drains (SHOWER Study)
This is a prospective randomized, controlled, unblinded, interventional feasibility study to evaluate if showering with post operative drains in place leads to an increase in complications. The patients included in the study will be those undergoing breast reductions and panniculectomies at Geisinger Medical Center. The patients will be randomized post operatively into one of two groups: 1) patients instructed to shower with drains in place, and 2) patients instructed not to shower while they have drains in place.

Primary | Drain site cellulitis | At each post operative appointment, the patient's drain sites will be examined for signs of cellulitis including tenderness to palpation and blanching erythema. The decision will be based on clinical exam by the physicians assistant, confirmed with the attending physician, and photos will be taken for documentation. | 12 weeks | |
Primary | Incisional cellulitis | At each post operative appointment, the patient's incision will be examined for signs of cellulitis including tenderness to palpation and blanching erythema. The decision will be based on clinical exam by the physicians assistant, confirmed with the attending physician, and photos will be taken for documentation. | 12 weeks | |
Primary | Seroma formation | At each post operative visit, the patient will be examined to rule out the presence of wound seroma. Any seroma requiring needle aspiration with removal of fluid will be documented as a positive seroma. | 12 weeks | |
Primary | Abscess formation | The patient will be examined at each post operative visit. Any collection of bacteria (abscess) that requires bedside drainage will be recorded as an abscess. | 12 weeks | |
Primary | Wound dehiscence | Development of wound dehiscence during follow-up period | 12 weeks | |
