Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) compared with primary closure (PC) in surgical site infection (SSI) prevention for laparotomy for peritonitis.


Clinical Trial Description

Surgical site infection is a particularly common morbidity in contaminated surgeries leading to prolonged length of hospital stay, healing time, and a significant financial burden on healthcare systems. Hence, the objective of PRISTINE trial is to compare the effectiveness of subcutaneous NPWT with PC for SSI prevention in patients who, due to wound contamination, are prone to infection. Moreover, with a further cost analysis, the investigators aim to evaluate the rationale for the implementation of routine preventive NPWT for laparotomy for diffuse peritonitis. Patients qualified for an emergency laparotomy for peritonitis in University Clinical Centre (UCC) Division of Oncological, Endocrine and General Surgery will be identified. Prior to laparotomy, participants will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to subcutaneous NPWT or PC. The assigned intervention will be performed intraoperatively, after fascia closure. All participants will receive an empirical antibiotic therapy regimen consisting of tazobactam/piperacillin or ciprofloxacin+ metronidazole. Participants will be followed-up postoperatively for one year. In case of an SSI all participants, regardless of their initial allocation, will be treated according to the standard of care with prolonged NPWT and targeted antibiotic therapy. ;
