Filter by:This is randomised double blinded placebo-controlled parallel-group study. Patients in Hospital Queen Elizabeth, Sabah and Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan who undergo laparotomy for peritonitis will be equally randomised into two groups : intervention group receiving super-oxidised solution and the control group receiving normal saline during peritoneal and wound lavage. This is a superiority study assessing the effectiveness of the intervention. The patient and doctors directly involved in the partient care will be blinded in this study
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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness and safety of non-dressing (exposed wound) versus dressing techniques in postoperative wound management for patients with gastrointestinal tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does non-dressing of postoperative wounds in gastrointestinal tumor surgery provide equivalent or better wound healing compared to traditional dressing techniques? 2. Can non-dressing of postoperative wounds reduce patient pain and healthcare costs? Participants in this study, who are diagnosed with gastrointestinal tumors and undergoing surgery, will be randomly assigned to either the non-dressing group or the dressing group. The non-dressing group will have their surgical wounds left exposed after initial postoperative care, while the dressing group will receive regular wound dressing changes every 48-72 hours. Researchers will compare these two groups to see if there are differences in the rate of wound complications, pain levels, and overall healthcare costs. This study aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for postoperative wound care in gastrointestinal tumor surgeries, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing medical expenses.
The purpose of this study is to compare surgical site infection rates for patients treated with Mohs micrographic surgery after bilateral nasal swab with povidone iodine versus standard treatment including the use of a standardized oral antibiotic prophylaxis protocol.
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.
This study will compare the cosmetic scar result from the use of scalpel, electrocautery, and pulsed electron avalanche knife (PEAK) PlasmaBlade (PPB) for the initial skin incision for total mastectomy procedures without immediate breast reconstruction. It is hypothesized that there will be no significant difference in mastectomy scar cosmesis. The purpose and objectives of this study are: 1. To evaluate and compare the cosmetic scar result from the use of scalpel, standard electrocautery, or PEAK PlasmaBlade for initial incision for total mastectomy procedures without immediate breast reconstruction. 2. To inform future equipment choices for breast surgery including potential elimination of scalpels and their attendant risks.
Multicentre non-inferiority cluster randomised trial testing Disposable versus Reusable drApes and Gowns for green OperatiNg theatres. A pragmatic 1:1 international multi-centre non-inferiority cluster randomised controlled trial, with an internal pilot. Clusters are individual hospitals.
n the current work we are aiming to compare between the mesh-reinforced stoma closure and the anatomical closure in terms of the risk of developing surgical site incisional hernia (SSIH),incidence of surgical site infection , post-operative Pain and Hospital stay
Surgical site infections (SSI) are the most common healthcare-associated infections and sources of morbidity and over-mortality. Factors that have been proven to reduce SSI include antimicrobial prophylaxis, maintenance of perioperative normothermia, avoidance of hyperglycemia, proper surgical techniques, and adequate pain relief postoperatively
