Filter by:Surgical site infection (SSI), particularly deep SSI, is one of the most serious complications after spinal surgery. evaluating the risk of SSI and, correspondingly, prescription of prophylactic measures are extremely important to prevent SSI and avoid potentially devastating consequences. A retrospective study was conducted aiming to develop a point-based prediction model of deep surgical site infection in patients receiving open posterior instrumented thoracolumbar surgery.
The purpose of this study is to find differences in rates of surgical site infections following emergency laparotomy with the use of two different incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT)devices.
Purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of intravenous and intraosseous antibiotic administration techniques during tourniquetless total knee arthroplasty.
Patients planned for shoulder surgery will be identified and contacted for participation. After informed consent is provided, patients will be randomised into one of three groups: pre-operative cutaneous disinfection with iodine (control group), pre-operative cutaneous and subcutaneous disinfection with iodine (double prevention), and pre-operative cutaneous and subcutaneous disinfection with iodine combined with a skin preparation protocol with benzoyl peroxide gel in the days prior to surgery (triple prevention). Bacterial cultures will be collected during surgery of the surgical field and tissue layers. Culture positivity for Cutibacterium Acnes will be compared between the groups as a primary outcome.
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.
The overarching aim of this research project is to prevent orthopedic implant-associated infections. This study aims to investigate if PDT has an effect on bacterial skin colonization in order to improve skin antisepsis strategies for the prevention of surgical site infections.
The general decolonization of the human body surface by industrial antiseptic agents, before elective surgery is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). A specific randomized-controlled trial specifically among high-risk adult orthopedic patients for infection has not been performed. In this single-center, prospective, randomized, and controlled superiority trial, which is planned over a period of two years, we target on an orthopedic patient population with an elevated risk for revision surgery and surgical site infections
CLUE trial aims to determine the feasibility and predictive value for surgical site infection (SSI) of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in emergency laparotomy patients with diffuse peritonitis.
The study will be a pilot randomized control trial with a 1:1 patient randomization of vancomycin powder placement at the time of surgery (compared to no vancomycin placement) with the goal of reducing postoperative complications in patients undergoing an inguinal lymph node dissection for vulvar cancer. The primary objective is to measure the composite rate of postoperative complications within 30 days of inguinal lymph node dissection in patients with vulvar cancer.
The study will be conducted on women with risk factors for SSI assigned to gynecological surgery with an open abdominal approach. The participants will be designated to either Irrigation and suction arm by bilateral drain insertion or the control arm by randomization through the parallel assignment. The participants will be followed for the outcome for four days in the hospital and then at 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks postoperatively. The primary outcome measure will be the SSI rate. Secondary outcomes will be signs of SSI, post-operative pain, other complications and patient satisfaction.
