Stoma Site Infection Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) for Prevention of Wound Infection and Improvement of Wound Healing After Stoma Reversal
Stoma reversal is associated with high incidence of post-surgical complications, including Surgical Site Infections (SSI). Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has been successfully applied to surgical wound management, reducing the SSIs incidence. This is a randomized open-label trial to assess the efficacy of NPWT in decreasing the rate of SSI after stoma reversal.
Stoma reversal after abdominal resection is associated with several complications, of which the most common is wound infection. Surgical Site Infections (SSI) usually result in increased long-term complications, such as incisional hernia, prolonged hospital stay, increased outpatients visits and medical costs. Negative-Pressure-Wound-Therapy (NPWT) is a technique using vacuum dressing, commonly used to promote surgical wound healing, but there is a significant lack of knowledge about its safety and efficacy in promoting wound healing after stoma closure. This is an interventional, randomized, open label trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the NPWT (PICO™ system, Smith&Nephew Healthcare, Hull, UK) on stoma wound compared to Standard of Care (SOC). ;
