Surgical Wound Infection

Routine antibiotics for the intravenous and oral prophylaxis of colorectal surgery will be used. Experimental group: Patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery that involves, colonic resection. The antibiotic prophylaxis in this group will be composed of: An oral antibiotic pattern of ciprofloxacin (750mg / 12h, 2 doses) and metronidazole (250mg / 8h, 3 doses) the day before surgery. + Control group: Patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery that involves, colonic resection. The antibiotic prophylaxis in this group will be composed of: An intravenous antibiotic pattern of cefuroxime 1g and metronidazole 1,5gr during anesthetic induction. In both groups a second intravenous dose of cefuroxime (750mg) will be administered if the intraoperative time elongates more than three hours or there is an intraoperative bleeding over 1000cc. There won´t be a placebo treatment. Subject compliance will be evaluated according to the usual practice in surgical care field

Sternal Wound Infection in Patients Undergone Sternal Fixation Using Locking Compression Plates...

Sternal FractureSternal Wound Infection1 more

Sternal Wound Infection (SWI) in open heart surgery is one of the most annoying and avoidable complications that one encounters during work. Investigators investigate the rates of sternal wound infection (SWI) in patients in whom were used locking compression plates (LCP) versus in patients in whom were used wires to fixate the sternum for variable causes. SWI increases the overall cost and burden in the medical service and increases the patients suffering and disability. investigators aim to provide our patients with the most suitable means for sternal fixation.

Randomised cinical trial in demmita General Hospital.300 obese women pregnant with gestational age >38 wk ,theire age range from (25-35) years and BMI between (30 -40) undergoing elective cesarean section were randomised into 3 groups (100 patients in each group)and compare the role of subcutaneous tissue closure in post cesarean section wound complications. 3groups are: A- interrupted closure of subcutaneous tissue without drain. B-interrupted closure of subcutaneous tissue with drain. C-non closure of subcutaneous tissue.

Rapid Sternal Closure System (TALON)

Sternal Wound InfectionMediastinitis

The primary objective is to establish if the Rapid Sternal Closure System (RSCS) improves early postoperative recovery as manifested by decreased pain and improved pulmonary function. Secondary objectives include evaluation of Rapid Sternal Closure System with regard to SWCs (surgical wound complication defined as surgically treated sternal wound infection and sternal instability/non-union) as outlined in the protocol. For a given study endpoint, the null hypothesis will be no difference between the Rapid Sternal Closure System group and the control group. The alternative hypothesis will be a difference between 2 groups. The statistical objective of this study is to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis.
