Filter by:This was a randomized, open-label, multicenter, comparator-controlled clinical study to compare MAR-CUTIS with Dermabond Advanced in closure of surgical incisions and lacerations less than or equal to (<=)15 centimeter (cm). Eligible participants were randomized 2:1 to MAR-CUTIS or Dermabond Advanced.
A single-arm, prospective, unblinded, post marketing, single center study using BandGrip to close incisions post arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
Patients undergoing routine surgery in the Department of Dermatology for any indication on non-scalp skin and closed in linear fashion with scar greater than or equal to 4.5cm in length will be invited to participate in this split scar, head to head study comparing zinc oxide and petrolatum. Patients will apply respective ointments to each half of scar daily for one month and maintain a log of these activities. They will be seen at 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 6 months post-operatively for photographic scar assessment and to complete the patient portion of the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS), a quantitative objective assessment of scar appearance. Trained observers (board-certified dermatologists) will score the observer portion of the scale. POSAS outcomes, post-operative infections, linear density of epidermal seal will be assessed at the 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 6 months post-operative periods and compared between the two groups. Participants will have parking validated for all visits and upon completion of all portions of the study will receive a standardized skin care gift bag containing samples for hypoallergenic skin care products (washes, moisturizers, etc.).
Laparoscopic total colectomy (LTC) is an accepted surgical procedure for several colonic pathologies. Additionally, specimen extraction through the natural orifices is an emerging method when combined with the totally laparoscopic procedures. Our observations on natural orifice surgery was promising . In our daily surgical practice, investigators prefer the intracorporeal anastomosis and this study was conducted to compare the specimen extraction sites after LTC. Here investigators aimed to compare the results of conventional and natural orifice specimen extractions (NOSE) after totally LTCs.
Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRH) is an accepted surgical procedure for several right sided colonic pathologies. Recently the advantages of the intracorporeal ileotransversostomy over the extracorporeal anastomosis is appearing in the literature. Additionally, specimen extraction through the natural orifices is an emerging method when combined with the totally laparoscopic procedures. Our observations on natural orifice surgery was promising . In our daily surgical practice, investigators prefer the intracorporeal anastomosis and this study was conducted to compare the specimen extraction sites after LRH. Here investigators aimed to compare the results of conventional and natural orifice specimen extractions (NOSE) after totally LRHs.
The investigators propose a prospective randomized control trial testing the hypothesis that routine topical antibiotic prophylaxis does not significantly reduce the rate of infection after eyelid surgery.
The primary aim of this study is to determine if the SSI rate following revision total hip and knee arthroplasty is reduced in patients treated with the PICO device compared to patients with traditional postoperative dressings. Our secondary goals include; comparing the amount of wound drainage, rate of resolution of wound drainage, length of hospital stay, functional outcomes, and economic implications of wound drainage and SSI after revision arthroplasty comparing PICO and traditional dressings.
Surgical site infection is an infection at a place in the body where surgery has taken place, and has been reported in around 5% of people undergoing an operation. In vascular surgery, infection rates are as high as 30%. Methods to reduce this rate of infection should be investigated thoroughly for their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. The investigators aim to conduct a research trial examining one such method. Leukomed Sorbact is a wound dressing coated with a chemical (DACC) derived from spider-silk that interacts with, and binds bacteria, causing them to be mechanically removed from a wound when the dressing is changed. The trial aims to compare the effectiveness of this dressing to a standard, non-coated dressing, in the reduction of surgical site infection. 718 patients from a number of centres across the UK will be recruited to this study. Adult patients who are having a vascular surgery operation will be approached for entry into the trial. The trial will be explained to them, as well as an explanation that participation is voluntary and their operation or other aspects of their care will not be impacted in any way should participants not wish to participate. Participants will be randomised by computer into one of two groups - one group whose wounds are dressed with Leukomed Sorbact, and the other whose wounds are dressed with a standard dressing. Patients will be followed up at 30 days post-operatively. At the follow up, their wounds will be inspected for infection, and participants will be asked to complete short questionnaires measuring quality of life. Quality of life will also be assessed at 3 months post surgery. The trial will aim to answer a number of questions, with the primary question being does a DACC coated dressing applied after an operation reduce the risk of an infection at the surgery site? It will also ask whether this treatment is cost-effective and whether it promotes satisfactory healing and evaluate the overall carbon footprint impact of each intervention. Studies Within a Trial will be conducted to validate a remote diagnostic measure for detecting surgical site infection using wound images and the Bluebelle Wound Healing Questionnaire, evaluate feasibility of novel hair removal methods such as epilation and waxing, carbon footprint modelling within randomised controlled trials.
Evaluation of the use of resources and costs with O-arm in deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgeries and complex back surgeries
Applying flapless piezocision corticotomies on the alveolar bone and separating anterior mandibular teeth using a piezosurgery device (i.e. ultrasonic waves that perform very accurate incisions without any sutures following this procedure) may improve the speed of tooth alignment during orthodontic treatment. This study consists of two groups, patients will be randomly assigned to one of these two groups. The efficacy of this procedure on 18 patients (experimental group) will be evaluated,whereas the second group (control group) will receive a traditional orthodontic therapy. The time required to achieve complete alignment of crowded mandibular anterior teeth (from canine to canine) will be compared between the two groups.
