Filter by:Various spine surgeons perform wound irrigation using saline mixed with vancomycin, relying on mechanical debridement of non-viable tissue, physical disruption of biofilm, and bacteriostatic effect against gram positive flora. When used as a powder, topical application of vancomycin has demonstrated increased risk of symptomatic seroma formation, which is an adverse outcome that often requires bedside or intra-operative aspiration. Broad-spectrum antiseptic agents, such as Irrisept, offer bacteriocidal properties to eliminate hardware inoculation, thereby minimizing the risk of deep space infection, while obviating the risk of seroma development.
To compare the outcomes of plastibell circumcision method with open surgical technique in infants presenting at tertiary care hospital. Methods This randomized controlled trial (NCT??) was conducted at Pediatric surgery department, the Children's hospital and the University of Child health, Lahore. Study was carried out over a period of six months from 11-01-2022 to 11-07-2022. Non probability, purposive sampling was used. 174 infants presenting for circumcision were admitted and assigned a method of circumcision randomly. They were randomly divided in to 2 groups by using opaque sealed envelope technique. Infants in group A were underwent plastibell circumcision while infants in group B were underwent open technique circumcision. 87 circumcisions were performed by each method. The informed consent was taken from parents for inclusion into the study. All infants were underwent circumcision under local anesthesia as per assigned method. Same preoperative, per-operative, and postoperative care was given to each regardless of the technique. These patients were followed for 3 hours to assess bleeding as per operational definition. Then followed on an outpatient basis every 6th day until complete healing is achieved (30 days).The data regarding age, weight, duration of procedure, wound infection and post circumcision bleeding was recorded in a predesigned performa. (As per operational definition).
Oral versus intravenous antimicrobial prophylaxis for the prevention of surgical site infection for elective cesarean section and gynacological procedures
The study is a randomized, multicentric, double-blind, controlled with active comparator, parallel groups trial, to demonstrate the non-inferiority in efficacy and therapeutic safety of the postoperative diet with oligomeric-hyperprotéic-normocaloric supplement (group 1) versus a supplement with imunonutrients (group 2), in a multimodal rehabilitation regimen (ERAS) of colorectal surgery for colon cancer and that arrive at surgery in a normal nutritional state or without any intervention on their nutritional status, according to the scale Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST).
Up to 1 in 5 women in Africa who deliver their baby by cesarean section get a wound infection. Surgical site infections (SSIs) are largely preventable, but they represent a considerable burden for health-care systems, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. The prevention of these infections is complex and requires the integration of a range of preventive measures before, during, and after surgery. The aim of the proposed project is to determine the risk factors of Surgical Site Infection post-Cesarean Section in women admitted to Princess Christian Maternity Hospital (PCMH) in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Secondary aims are to determine the incidence of SSI and the predictors of a negative outcome in women with post-CS SSI.
