An Analysis of Dermabond vs. Non-Absorbable Sutures in Skin Closure for Brow Ptosis Procedures

Brow PtosisSurgical Wound

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Dermabond with non-absorbable sutures in skin closure after brow ptosis surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: if Dermabond provides equivalent wound healing compared to conventional non-absorbable skin suture techniques if Dermabond provides equivalent scar appearance compared to conventional non-absorbable suture techniques if Dermabond results in equivalent complication rates compared to conventional non-absorbable suture techniques Participants will have be randomly selected to have either Dermabond or non-absorbable suture closure methods. Scar analysis and both participant and provider surveys will be performed to assess the differences between groups, if any.

Direct Application of Integra Bilayer Matrices on Bare Calvarium Without Preliminary Burring

Wound CarePressure Ulcer4 more

This study is to determine if large, full thickness scalp wounds with exposed calvarium resulting from acutely created extirpative defects can be reliably and durably resurfaced with IDRT without burring or fenestration as a preliminary step, regardless of the size of the calvarial defect.

ROSSINI 2 - Reduction of Surgical Site Infection Using Several Novel Interventions

Surgical Site InfectionSurgical Wound Infection2 more

ROSSINI 2 is a phase III, multi-arm, multi-stage (MAMS) pragmatic, blinded (patient and outcome assessor), multicentre, randomised controlled trial (RCT) with an internal pilot, to evaluate the use of several in-theatre interventions, used alone or in combination, to reduce SSI rates in patients undergoing surgery.

Topical Antibiotic Irrigation (Bacitracin) in Prophylaxis of Midfacial Fracture Surgical Wounds...

Surgical Site Infection

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of topical antibiotic irrigation (gentamycin) and its ability to reduce surgical site infections in midfacial fracture surgery compared to sterile normal saline (NS). In April of 2020 a petition was made to add gentamycin and remove bacitracin after the FDA warning of the toxic side effects of bacitracin and because the hospital where the study was conducted has removed bacitracin from its formulary. The modification was approved.

Prophylaxis of Surgical Wound Infection With Topical Antibiotics

Surgical Site InfectionSurgery--Complications4 more

Surgical site infection (SSI) is the main complication of surgery. The prevention of superficial SSI by topical prophylaxis is controversial. Human studies on wound lavage with topical solutions (saline, antiseptics or antibiotics) are old and do not yield conclusive results. In experimental conditions there is evidence in favor of the efficiency wound lavage with saline and antibiotic solutions. Clinical studies are needed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of antibiotic lavage. Objective. Study of the efficacy of topical antibiotic therapy in the prevention of SSI in patients undergoing abdominal surgery with different risk of infection. Method. Project comprising several randomized double-blind clinical trials with a common methodology. Procedures with varying degrees of contamination, as emergency abdominal surgery, cesareans and complex abdominal wall reconstructions will be studied. Follow-up will be 30 days after operation. Data will be collected anonymously and the relationships between the variables will be analyzed using Pearson's chi-square, survival analysis and analysis of risk factors as appropriate. The effect of topical antibiotic on hospital stay, resistance patterns in SSI, and antibiotic serum levels will be analyzed.

Povidone-Iodine for Nasal Decolonization

Surgical Wound InfectionPreoperative Care1 more

To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of 10% povidone-iodine in eliminating nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. To determine whether a more convenient, single-dose, pre-operative 10% povidone-iodine (PI) application is effective in reducing nasal carriage of S. aureus and MRSA. We expect a statistically significant decrease in S. aureus/MRSA colonization in nasal cultures taken perioperatively after intervention in patients who received pretreatment with PI as compared to patients who received normal saline (NS).

Clinical Study on the Prevention of Surgical Wound Complications for Aneurysmal Thoracic-abdominal...

Toraco Abdominal Aneurysm

The patients will be randomized into two groups of 100 subjects each one. One arm will be randomized to treatment with a negative topical pressure system (Sistema Prevena ™); while the other arm ("control group") will be randomized to treatment with standard medication with sterile gauzes and a TNT patch or medicated patch as normal traditional medication in use. The medications with a negative topical pressure system (Sistema Prevena ™) will be applied directly in the Operating Room. Thereafter the medication will be checked in the inpatient ward after 48 hours from the intervention, evaluating the possible absorption of exudate on the surface. If no absorption are detected within 48 hours, the medication won't be removed. The medication will be renewed in the 7th day (± 2 days) post-operative; and to follow every 7 (± 2 days) until the points are removed. If the wound continues to progress towards recovery, the protocol will continue until discharge and / or rehabilitation and / or surgery. For each evaluation the photograph of the medication must be taken (which will be deprived of all the identifying elements of the patient).

PICO Above Incisions After Vascular Surgery

WoundInfection

The wound infection rate in the groin after vascular surgery has been denoted to be high since the wound surveillance register started in 2005. The current wound infection rate based on a validation study was 22.9% (24/105 patients with groin incision(s) between 1 March to 30 June in 2012). This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate if negative pressure wound therapy on closed inguinal incisions (INPWT) after vascular surgical procedures can reduce the risk for surgical site infections and other wound complications.
