Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of surgical site infection (SSIs) after third molar surgery for different duration of intravenous ampicillin administration.
This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial of 1100 patients to evaluate the superiority of combined intraoperative wound irrigation with intraoperative peritoneal lavage with dilute aqueous povidone-iodine compared to normal saline in male and female patients between the ages of 18 and 80 years old undergoing emergency laparotomies with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) class 2 and 3 wounds.
This is a randomized controlled, prospective, multicenter superiority trial with two parallel treatment groups and single blinding (local investigators performing postoperative follow up will be blinded for group allocation), with prospective enrollment planned from July 2024 to June 2025 in 20 Italian surgical centers. All patients undergoing elective major gastro-intestinal (GI) tract surgery (upper GI, HPB, & lower GI) will be included in a prospective database after written informed consent. A total of 2,000 patients is expected based on a mean of 100 cases per center.
DUOFAG® is a phage cocktail containing bacteriophages active against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is an investigational medicinal product for the treatment of surgical site infections caused by S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the safety of DUOFAG® and the clinical and microbiological change within 10 weeks after the start of treatment or until healing.
The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of using Bioelectric wound dressing on the pre-operative wound site and post operatively and compared it outcomes to the standard of care chlorhexidine skin preparation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of closure in patients with ostomies that are ready for closure. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Surgical site infection rates 2. Patient quality of life 3. Time to wound healing Participants will undergo either complete ostomy wound closure after washing out the wound with Prontosan, or their ostomy wound will be closed using the Pursestring method, where the wound will be left partially open and allowed to heal from the inside out. Researchers will compare these two groups' outcomes (questions to be answered) as listed above.
Considering the relatively high incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) in colorectal surgery, this trial will compare rates of SSI in patients undergoing colorectal resections followed by surgical wound irrigation with povidone-iodine versus the group of patients undergoing surgical wound irrigation with saline solution. The trial will be conducted in a large university hospital in Southern Brazil.
There is controversy about the maximum number of elements to be included in a surgical site infection (SSI) prevention bundle and the possibility of its implementation at a multi-center level. This study analyzes SSI rates in colorectal surgery after the implementation of two preventive bundles. The investigators hypothesized that the thorough introduction of a well-designed large bundle of best practice preventive measures would result in good adherence and greater reduction of SSI rates after colorectal surgery.
The main objective is to analyze post-surgical periodontal healing after conventional periodontal surgery where an absorbable suture coated with clorhexidine (Novosyn Clorhexidine) versus conventional sutures without chlorhexidine (Novosyn) will be used a pilot randomized clinical study has been designed. Up to authors´ knowledge until now there are no studies to evaluate periodontal healing after periodontal surgery in combination with this kind of sutures.
Transumbilical laparoscopic appendectomy (TULA) is increasingly favored in the treatment of appendicitis within the realm of minimally invasive surgical approaches. This procedure offers advantages such as superior cosmetic outcomes and reduced postoperative pain. However, like all surgical interventions, it carries the inherent risk of surgical site infections (SSI), which pose significant challenges to patient health and healthcare systems by escalating treatment costs, prolonging recovery, and increasing morbidity rates. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the "glove finger method" in mitigating SSI risk in TULA. The rationale for this study is predicated on the hypothesis that the glove finger method could serve as a simple and cost-effective measure offering potential protection against SSIs. When compared to traditional methods, this technique may not only reduce surgical duration but also diminish the risk of SSIs, thereby potentially decreasing hospital stay durations. Furthermore, enhancing the understanding of factors contributing to the development of SSIs and developing effective strategies for their prevention can elevate patient care quality and alleviate the burden on healthcare systems.
