Clinical Trial Summary

To study the effect of applying a PHMB-based antiseptic solution to tie-over dressings in full-thickness surgical wounds in dermatologic surgery in order to minimise the development of surgical site infections. The bacterial dynamics in wounds pre-,intra-, and postoperatively will be examined in order to understand the pathogenesis of surgical site infections better.


Clinical Trial Description

40 patients with suspected skin cancer in the face planned for full-thickness surgery will be randomised into two groups: One will receive a traditional tie-over dressing saturated with NaCl and the other group will receive a tie-over dressing saturated with a PHMB-based antiseptic. A quantitative and qualitative bacterial analysis of wounds by using a modified Levine's swabbing technique will be carried out pre-,intra-,and postoperatively. The effect of nasal colonisation with S.aureus on the development of surgical site infections will be investigated. All wounds will be followed a week after surgery to assess development of infections. ;
