Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a prevalent condition, up to 9% in women and 0.6% in men. Surgical decompression in the most effective treatment. After surgery, approximately 1,8% of the patients develop a wound infection. Possibly, the type of sutures used can influence the prevalence of wound infection. In this RCT the incidence of infection is investigated between the use of absorbable versus non-absorbable sutures in carpal tunnel release.
Postpartum infection if a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality and surgical site infections are some of the common complications following cesarean section. This study aims to determine the effect of Steri3X on the incidence of cesarean section SSI at Regional One Hospital.
to study the effect of early vs delayed enteral feeding following ASARP in females with congenital recto-vestibular fistula
1. Infection control and health-care-associated infections and Safety of medical service providers 2. Evidence based management of common medical and surgical problems
This is a prospective observational study of patients undergoing planned surgery for intestinal failure. The aims of the study are: - To prospectively characterise preoperative bacterial populations amongst patients undergoing surgery for intestinal failure - To examine the relationship between preoperative bacteriology and surgical site infection (SSI) in this patient group - To investigate the effect of surgery and surgical site infection on generic and wound specific quality of life measures
This is a single-center, single-blind, randomized parallel superiority trial comparing two groups; Sternum GuardTM as the treatment arm and Bone Wax as the active control group. Both investigated modalities are materials used during sternotomy for covering the sewn sternal edge. The primary outcomes of this study comprised of four parameters; namely surgical site infection (superficial or deep infection), sternal dehiscence, hemostatic effect, and surgeon's satisfaction rate. The first three primary outcomes were assessed during the operation, at the end of the hospital stay, 14 days, and 30-days postoperative.
This is a prospective, single-blind, controlled trial. There are two arms and 20 patients with acute or chronic wounds with clinical suspicion of biofilm (CSB+/CSB-) are allocated in each arm. The primary objective is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of MolecuLight fluorescence in identifying biofilm as validated by gold standard SEM imaging.
serum procalcitonin levels are important during infections and sepsis.The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between serum procalcitonin and severity of post cesarean wound infection
Despite advances in laparoscopic surgery for perforated peptic ulcer (PPU), intra-abdominal abscess (IAA) is recognized as one of the commonly reported complications with relation to the extent of infectious abdominal contamination. Herein, the investigators report their experience of laparoscopic surgery for PPU with/without peritoneal irrigation and discuss postoperative outcome. The investigators retrospectively examined the electronic medical records of the patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for perforated peptic ulcer at a single medical center in Taiwan between January 2013 and August 2021. Retrospectively, the investigators would include those patients with clinical diagnosis of PPU who underwent emergent laparoscopic surgery. The patients with previous abdominal surgery, pathologic confirmed malignant ulcer perforation or concomitant ulcer bleeding were excluded. The investigators focused on post-operative complications and outcome after laparoscopic surgery with or without peritoneal irrigation. This information can be important in improving surgical options with respect to risk and potential benefits in this setting.
