Active clinical trials for "Surgical Wound"

Cesarean section (C/S) is an operation most commonly performed in Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics. Complications related with incomplete healing of Kerr uterine incision after C/S (adhesions, separation (dehiscence), endometritis, endometriosis, anomalous placentation in subsequent pregnancies, incomplete or complete uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies, ...) are very important issues. Classically Kerr incision is repaired with continuous locked suturing. Purse string suturing of Kerr incision may reduce the size of the incision and in turn may reduce short and long term complications. For this reason, the investigators aimed to compare two closure techniques.

The investigation is designed as a prospective, open, non-controlled clinical investigation.

Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a reliable method to augment insufficient bone volume for implant placement. Membrane exposure is a major complication which is avoided by tension free primary closure. Classically Periosteal Releasing Incision (PRI) is performed to advance the flap. The aim of this trial is to compare Double Flap Incision (DFI), Modified Periosteal Releasing Incision (MPRI) & Coronally Advanced Lingual Flap (CALF) to PRI in terms of flap advancement, postoperative pain & swelling, membrane exposure and the amount of bone gain clinically and radiographically in GBR procedures.

The purpose of this present study was to evaluate the efficiency of the growth factors delivered by concentrated growth factor (CGF) on the healing process of osteoporotic patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ). This randomized controlled study composed of osteoporotic female patients who were treated with oral bisphosphonates (BPs) and diagnosed with MRONJ. For the CGF group, each patient was treated with local application of CGF at the surgical site after removing the necrotic bone while the surgical area was only primarily closed as traditional surgical therapy for the control group. The patients underwent clinical examinations for 6 months postoperatively to check the presence of infection and dehiscence.

The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that the time to reach a stable refraction is significantly shorter in eyes operated with the 1.8 mm coaxial microincision compared to eyes operated with the 2.75 mm standard incision using the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System.

This is a prospective, controlled, randomized, multi-center clinical study of up to 80 subjects with full thickness surgical incisions. Each incision included in the study will be segmented into two halves; each half will be randomized to receive final skin closure with either Prineo (DERMABOND PROTAPE) or intradermal sutures. Subjects will be evaluated post-operatively at 24 hours (± 6 hours), 7 days (± 1 day), 12 - 25 days, and 90 days (± 10 days).

Obstetrical blood loss is an important reason of maternal morbidity and mortality. Because of the increase in the rate of cesarean section, any procedure that could help reduce blood loss during cesarean section should be investigated. The purpose of this study was to compare 2 methods of blunt expansion of the uterine incision at the time of cesarean delivery: transversal vs. cephalad-caudad.

Examine whether the measurement and feedback of physical activity increase the physical activity in women who underwent midline incision, gynecological surgery

To determine the risk of surgical site infection after surgical skin incision, comparing electrocautery vs. scalpel.

The investigators propose to test the hypothesis that the incidence of major complications related to infection or inadequate healing is reduced in morbidly obese patients given 80% inspired oxygen during, and for 12-18 hours after, surgery compared with patients given 80% oxygen only during surgery. The primary outcome will be a composite of major complications plausibly related to infection or healing.
