Filter by:This is a randomized trial comparing the effectiveness of 4 vaginal prep solutions (betadine, baby shampoo, TechniCare and Peridex) on reducing bacterial colony counts during surgery preparation. Women undergoing a vaginal surgery will be enrolled into the trial prior to surgery. Target sample size per group is 15 patients. During standard surgical prep, a vaginal swab will be taken to assess the initial colony counts for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. After the initial swab, the incision point will be prepared using one of the prep 4 solutions (betadine, baby shampoo, TechniCare or Peridex). After a predefined 10 minutes, the area will be re-swabbed to determine pre-incision colony counts. A third swab will be collected after incision closure. Laboratory analyses for raw colony counts, sensitivities, identification (using MALDI-TOF) will be performed. The results are expected to show that there will be reduced colony counts at the pre-incision point with baby shampoo having the least reduction, followed by betadine and TechniCare, then Peridex. Patient reported outcomes for vaginal itching and burning as well as patient report of any treatment for vaginal infection will be collected by telephone at 2 days, 2 weeks and 1 month post-surgery.
To identify the best surface to minimize the risk of intra-operative slipping when placed in Trendelenburg position. The outcomes of interest are to minimize the amount of movement from predefined anatomic landmarks and maximize the ease of performing the intended surgery. The study consists of performing a randomized trial comparing 3 common anti-slip surfaces to determine which surface provides the best result in terms of safety and cost.
The primary objective is to assess the impact of patient positioning using the candy cane stirrups as compared to boot stirrups on physical functioning outcomes at 6 weeks post-op
Our primary aim is to determine whether the routine use of belladonna and morphine suppositories will improve pain control following vaginal surgery. Treatment will begin immediately following surgery and every 8 hours for 16 hours.
