Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether a bioelectric wound dressing, a silver-coated dressing, or a silver-foam dressing are effective in the treatment of wounds resulting from curettage and electrodesiccation of skin lesions.
The aim of this study is to ascertain if the use of PDS plus® reduces the number of wound infections and incisional hernia after midline and transverse laparotomy comparing to polyglactin suture.
Surgical site infections (SSI) constitute a significant health-economic and clinical challenge. The investigators conducted a cluster-randomized, cross-over study to compare the efficacy of plain soap and water (PSW), used ubiquitously across sub-Saharan Africa for surgical hand preparation, to alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR), with SSI rates as the main outcome measure. A total of 3317 patients undergoing clean and clean-contaminated surgery were included in the study and followed up for 30 days.
This is a comparison, at this VA Hospital, of standard operating room management in colorectal surgery to a more rigid management using an additional five previously tested treatments to determine if this changes the rate of post operative wound infections.
The aim of this study was to ascertain if the use of Vicryl plus® reduced the number of wound infections after transverse laparotomy comparing to polydioxanon suture.
The goal of this study is to determine whether injecting the antibiotic vancomycin directly into surgical wounds can decrease the rate of infection following implantation of neurosurgical devices.
This is an observational study to evaluate the relative importance of the known risk factors for severe surgical site infections (SSIs) on the development of the more severe SSI cases, and to describe the demographic, clinical features, etiology and the management and outcome of patients suffering from severe SSIs in Spain.
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that supplemental postoperative oxygen reduces the risk of surgical wound infection in patients following lower limb vascular surgery.
The goal of this study is to evaluate sternal osteosynthesis, chest wall pain and return to normal activity in open heart surgery patients who had their breast bone closed either with wires or plates.
The purpose of this multicentre prospective trial is to determine the incidence and risk factors for surgical wound infections. Also the investigators will evaluate consequences of wound infections to the patients, and extra costs caused by wound infections.
