Active clinical trials for "Surgical Wound"

The study included 150 patients with gynecomastia (Grade II and III) for the period between January 2010 and January 2016 who attended private hospitals and Al- Kindy Teaching Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups according to the operative techniques used. Group A included 75 patients treated surgically with subcutaneous mastectomy using periareolar incision. Group B; included the other 75 patients who were managed by "modified Benelli technique". The subcutaneous mastectomy using "modified Benelli technique" showed a significantly lower operating time due to ample access for excision of breast tissue. Excision of excess skin allowed the areola to retain a cosmetically more acceptable position. There was a lot of pleating of the skin compared to the other technique using the periareolar incision.

the study is comparing the results of aesthetic surgery wound closure by a single layer versus the traditional multi-layer closure as regards the wound healing time, local wound complications, and the scar formed.

The use of temporary stomas has been demonstrated to reduce septic complications after colorectal cancer surgery, especially in high-risk anastomosis; therefore, it is necessary to reduce the number of complications secondary to ostomy takedowns, namely wound infection. The aim of this study is to compare the rates of superficial wound infection, healing time and patient satisfaction after pursestring closure vs "gunsight" skin incision and closure technique closure.

The IntraLase iFS femtosecond laser system can create corneal arcuate incisions for cataract surgery.

Do the use of Ketorolac in one intravenous injection at the moment of the operative incision reduce the number of recurrence in patient with advanced breast cancer without inflammation signs.

Inguinal incisions are the most frequent incisions used in children before the acquisition of continence (180 incisions per year for the Pediatric Surgery Department in Nice CHU). However, healing of those wounds can be made hard because of soiling induced by urine and/or stool, which is unavoidable in case of wearing nappies. Nowadays, in order to overcome a possible contamination of the surgical wound, post-surgery wound dressing is protected by the application of a waterproof band aid (like Tegaderm®) during wound-healing (evaluated to a mean of 7 days). When the band aid is soiled, a nurse changes it, causing unpleasantness in low age children (whose epidermal fragility is well known), and sometimes parents worry. Moreover, those occlusive wound dressings avoid any control of the surgical wound during healing phase. At the end of the wound-healing time, wound dressings are removed, causing discomfort for children and necessity of a qualified nurse staff at visit times. Cutaneous use glues, introduced in surgery more than 10 years ago, allow making waterproof and transparent sutures, with a firmness equivalent to a 2/0 string suture (cutaneous suture in children is made with 5/0) and has its own local antiseptic properties. It does not need to be covered by any wound dressing during wound-healing phase. Moreover, cosmetic results for the 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate in the adult and children series (without any precise age distinction) seem to be equivalent to conventional sutures. Finally, its application goes with time saving (in preoperative and during wound-healing phase) and increases comfort for patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of cutaneous use glue Dermabond® (2-octyl-cyanoacrylate) in surgical inguinal incisions sutures in children before the acquisition of continence, by a non-inferiority randomized multicentric prospective study. Two patient groups will be studied, the sutures of one control group will be made with a conventional technique (intradermic surjet surgical suture), and one patient group will be sutured with 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate. The principal evaluation criteria is the suture quality (short- and long-term cosmetic aspect) evaluated by the surgeon. Two secondary criteria will be studied : Parental satisfaction Ease of clinical nursing management Each studied criteria will be evaluated by a numeric score.

This was an unblinded randomized controlled trial. Women were randomized to uterine closure with the knotless barbed suture (Stratafix PDS, Ethicon) or Vicryl (Ethicon) at the time of elective cesarean. The primary outcome was closure time of the uterine incision. Also measured were blood loss during incision closure and the use of additional hemostatic sutures. Informed consent was obtained

A better suture technology will reduce postoperative incision complications. This study is designed to compare mass continous suture with PDS and interrupted suture with thread on major abdominal incision.

Wound healing after surgery is a complex procedure. Liquefaction of the fat and necrosis of inactivated tissue, as well as blood clots are always accumulated mostly within 24 hours after surgery. As such, early debridement within 24 hours after surgery might improve the healing of the wounds. This study is designed to compare the impact of early debridement of the wound versus regular dressing (24 hours later) on the wound healing. 100 patients will be included in this study, and divided into 2 groups randomly. Then, the healing of the wound, stitch removal time, incidence of incision complications will be compared between the two groups.

This study is being done to find out if Spectrum Near-Infrared (NIR) imaging with Indocyanine Green (ICG) dye can help measure blood flow around an incision before and after the surgeon closes the incision with staples or sutures. The Spectrum NIR imaging system uses a handheld camera that produces a special type of light that can help surgeons see things during surgery that are difficult to see with the naked eye, for example, cancer tissue versus healthy tissue. Spectrum NIR imaging has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a tool that is widely used during surgery. ICG dye is a sterile solution that can be seen with Spectrum NIR imaging. This dye, used with Spectrum NIR imaging, allows surgeons to see blood flow to parts of the body during and after surgery. Making sure that there is enough blood flow to the surgical site helps to promote a less complicated recovery.
