Filter by:This is a single center randomized control trial assessing the effect of early versus delayed bathing on orthopaedic surgical wounds in patients undergoing surgical treatment of fractures. Patients will be recruited by screening all patients undergoing surgical treatment for fractures at our institution. Patients who provide written consent will be randomized to one of two treatment arms after confirming eligibility criteria. Group A will be advised to begin early normal bathing (non-submerged showering) with uncovered surgical wounds. Group B will be advised to follow traditional delayed bathing with covered wounds. Those who do not wish to participate in the randomized trial will be invited to participate observationally (no randomization) and have the same prospective follow-up.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the outcomes of High-volume saline irrigation vs Povidone-iodine solution cleaning of the intraoperative incision wound in preventing superficial surgical site infections in patients undergoing emergency laparotomies. The main question it aims to answer are: - Incidence of SSI after intervention - Length of hospital stay Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups receiving either of the two groups: Group A: 1000ml of IOWI with saline solution prior to incision closure Group B: The incisional wound will be closed conventionally without irrigation. Researchers will compare groups A( experimental group) and B (control group) to compare the incidence of superficial surgical site infections after intervention.
Patients planned for shoulder surgery will be identified and contacted for participation. After informed consent is provided, patients will be randomised into one of three groups: pre-operative cutaneous disinfection with iodine (control group), pre-operative cutaneous and subcutaneous disinfection with iodine (double prevention), and pre-operative cutaneous and subcutaneous disinfection with iodine combined with a skin preparation protocol with benzoyl peroxide gel in the days prior to surgery (triple prevention). Bacterial cultures will be collected during surgery of the surgical field and tissue layers. Culture positivity for Cutibacterium Acnes will be compared between the groups as a primary outcome.
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 study assess whether there is any role of antibiotics to decrease wound infection and increase the success of surgery
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an oxytetracycline impregnated gauze drain on the incidence of alveolar osteitis (AO) and postoperative pain during the first week after mandibular third molar surgery.
The aim of this study is to determine if antibiotics affect the outcome after percutaneous surgery for pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures. The patient population will be recruited from the cohort presenting to Women and Children's Hospital for percutaneous fixation of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures who meet the eligibility criteria and consent to taking part in the study. Patients will be followed up for 3-6 weeks depending on age, and will be evaluated on the presence or absence superficial or deep infection, Visual Analog Scale pain scores, time to healing, need for repeat casting, and loss of fixation.
This is a double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, controlled, multi-center study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RUT058-60 (Group A) as an intra-cavity lavage compared to sterile saline (Group B) in adult subjects undergoing abdominal surgery.
