Filter by:The primary aim of the study is to compare two methods for a relationship with total knee infection: regular changing of dressings and not changing dressings.
The central aim of this trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of Phage Cocktail-SPK as an adjunct to standard therapy for the prevention and treatment of burns susceptible to infection/or infected by S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, or K. pneumoniae species. It is hypothesized that no adverse events, clinical abnormalities, or changes in laboratory tests results related to the application of Phage Cocktail SPK Spray will be observed.
We aim to prospectively evaluate the risk factors that can play a role before, during or after the surgical period.
The overarching goal of this research is to assess whether the post-operative use of closed-incision Negative Pressure Therapy (ciNPT) accelerates healing of surgical wounds, improves surgical outcomes, and reduces the rate of local complications in high-risk, obese, post-bariatric patients undergoing abdominal body-contouring procedures (abdominal panniculectomy or "abdominoplasty") compared to standard wound care. The investigators postulate that ciNPT can cost-effectively improve outcomes and standard of post-surgical care in this specific category of patients. This hypothesis will be tested through a prospective, interventional, case-control, randomized clinical trial.
To compare cost effectiveness of a polyurethane dressing or a vacuum therapy dressing versus the conventional gauze in the prevention of superficial wound infection y major cardiac surgery
This study will evaluate the use of free autologous dermal fat grafting (also called free dermal fat autografting) to treat complex craniofacial wounds that have failed standard treatment and to understand how well these grafts work to repair wounds long term. Patients who have undergone free autologous dermal fat grafting to treat complex craniofacial wounds less than 1 week ago will have photographs and small biopsies taken of the area that was grafted. Patients will be followed for 2 years to monitor the area that was grafted.
Post-operative wound issues in abdominal surgery have a significant impact on patient outcomes. The impact of different types of wound therapy are not clear in the literature. The hypothesis of this study is that NPWT has the potential to reduce Surgical Site Infections, however no study has compared the most commonly used products against standard dressings.
This is a prospective randomized controlled study to the difference between using normal saline or betadine irrigation of wound prior to skin closure in reducing the incidence of wound infection after Cesarean section.
Robotic single site surgery (R-SSH) is a novel technique, which may be superior to multi site hysterectomy (R-MSH) in select patients regarding cosmesis and postoperative pain. A randomized trial is performed to compare R-SSH with R-MSH with regard to the postoperative rehabilitation, cosmesis, the operational cost, and the perioperative morbidity.
12-week single-blind, prospective, randomized, controlled, pilot clinical trial assessing The MolecuLight i:X Imaging Device in chronic wounds. This device guides clinicians to inspect, sample, debride or further evaluate areas within or around a wound where potentially harmful bacteria appear under violet light illumination resulting in better overall care and accelerated surface area reduction compared to current standard care. The study aims to determine if this device aids in the healing of chronic wounds by reduction in size of wound compared to current standard of care.
