Long Term Status of Free Dermal Fat Autografts for Complex Craniofacial Wounds
Wounds and InjuriesWound Infection21 moreThis 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 2-30 years ago will have photographs and small biopsies taken of the area that was grafted.
Cutibacterium Acnes: Triple Prevention in Shoulder Operations
Post-Operative Wound InfectionSurgical Site InfectionPatients 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.
Postoperative Pain Score of Laparoscopic Gynecological Surgeries
Surgical IncisionGynecologic Surgery1 moreIn this study, it was aimed to compare the embryonic route, the umbilicus, and the sub-umbilicus incision in terms of postoperative pain scoring. For this purpose, in laparoscopic hysterectomies performed for benign reasons, it is planned to measure the pain score at the 8th hour and 1st day postoperatively in the umbilicus and subumbilical incision. Visual analog scoring system will be used for pain scoring.

Wound and InjuriesSurgical Wound DehiscenceThe study is looking at the clinical efficacy, functionality and device performance of a new Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system in the management of a variety of wound types, in a real-life clinical setting. The study will comprise a prospective, open-labeled, multi-center study in a number of care-settings (both hospital and community) in South Africa. The patient's reference wound will be randomized to treatment with either intermittent or continuous NPWT mode to assess whether the delivery of NPWT via each of these therapy settings will have an effect on the rate and quality of wound healing.
