Postoperative Wound Infection Clinical Trial
Official title:
Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial of Wound Management After Ostomy Closure
Countless children undergo surgery annually for management of what clinicians consider to be a "dirty wound". One frequently encountered example is the ostomy reversal. During this planned operation, the previously diverted small bowel or colon is reconnected with the distal intestine, restoring continuity. However, this procedure leaves an open wound on the anterior abdominal wall, creating a conundrum for the surgeon and raises the question: how should the wound be managed? In the investigators practice at CHOA, surgeons utilize both a wick and a non-wicked wound dressing. In this prospective randomized trial, we wish to evaluate these two dressings in children receiving an ostomy closure. The investigators hypothesis is that the incidence of wound infection after ostomy reversal is the same regardless of if a wick is placed or not.

Inclusion Criteria: All patients at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (Egleston or Scotish Rite campus) who are scheduled to undergo an ostomy reversal will be approached for participation in this study. As there truly is no known "better" dressing for this type of wound, all patients, including those with co-morbidities such as immunosuppression will be eligible for inclusion in this study. Only those whose families consent to be included in the study will be included or randomized to the study. Exclusion Criteria: Patients who do not give consent to participate will be excluded from this study. Additionally, if at the time of the operation, the surgeon feels that it is not in the patient's best interest to be randomized and included in the study, he/she may decide to exclude the patient. |
