Filter by:Do the use of Ketorolac in one intravenous injection at the moment of the operative incision reduce the number of recurrence in patient with advanced breast cancer without inflammation signs.
This is a study looking at patient's satisfaction with incision site and location after undergoing minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. (Laparoscopy) The study group will have the anticipated incision marked with a washable marker on their abdomen. The control group will have preoperative counselling as usual. After surgery, will assess patient's satisfaction with the incision scar.
Patients are often counseled to keep a surgical wound dry for 2 to 3 days. The rationale is likely to decrease the risk of infection and bleeding. However, this has never been formally studied. Patient's routines are likely disrupted when they are asked to avoid wetting the area. The investigators will perform a controlled study to determine if avoidance of post-operative wetting is necessary.
Currently, the way doctors close the skin during cesarean section is different between surgeons and there is little evidence to support the use of one kind of closure over the other. At the Mayo Clinic Family Birth Center, skin is currently closed using an absorbable suture (or stitch), placed within the top layer of skin. At other institutions, a metal staple is often used to close the skin. There is a new technique that uses special absorbable staples just beneath the skin. This technology may be equal to, or possibly better than, current skin closure techniques. However, there is currently little data to show how it compares. The purpose of this study is to compare the absorbable staple to the currently used absorbable suture. The data from this study will then be used to help determine the best technique for skin closure.
This prospective, randomized, controlled trial will compare the incidence of nosocomial infections (composite of primary bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and surgical site infections) that occur in intensive care unit (ICU) patients bathed with 2% chlorhexidine solution versus patients who receive standard bathing (soap and water or non-medicated cloths).
The purpose of this study is to see if the use of a single-use negative pressure wound therapy system (NPWT) will have an effect on the reduction of post-surgical incision healing complications following breast reduction surgery and to assess the medium-term aesthetic appearance and quality of the resultant scar, compared with standard of care dressings.
Study objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate through clinical criteria the clinical efficacy and safety of BCT Silver Bandage role in obstetrical and gynecological wound healing is as effective and safe as Aquacel® Ag. Dressing. Study devices: - Study device: BCT Silver Bandage - Comparator device:"ConvaTec"Aquacel® Ag Hydrofiber Dressing Study design: - Randomized, Open-label, interventional, comparative, preventive study with Blinded evaluator. - All subjects must meet all the inclusion & exclusion criteria to enter this study in pre-operative phase. - Eligible subjects will be enrolled after a scheduled operative procedure. - There is SEVEN visits in this study (one screening eligibility phase up to 7 days before OP day, and four post-op treatment scheduled visits consisting on 1st , 3rd day, 5th day, 12th day and two follow up visit on the 28th and the 42nd post-operative day. - During each scheduled visit, each subject will have colored picture of his wound after dressing been removed, and on visit V6 for wound evaluation by blinded PI. Number of subjects: It is expected to recruit ≧150 eligible subjects. Study Duration: About eighteen month.
This case series will assess the use of suction blister epidermal grafts harvested by a novel device on select patients with hypo pigmented skin or surgical skin wounds.
The purpose of this study is to compare the post-surgical standard-of-care dressing to the Prevena™ Incision Management System in women undergoing Cesarean section surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Spiracur SNaP® Wound Care System for the treatment of acute trauma and acute surgical excision wounds. The secondary purpose will be to compare the prospective patients to retrospectively treated acute trauma wounds to further evaluate efficacy and safety.
