Active clinical trials for "Surgical Wound"

This study was performed to compare both methods of skin incisions to determine differences in postoperative pain, hemodynamic changes, incisional time, blood loss during incision, wound healing, and wound complication.

The PuraPly Antimicrobial Wound Matrix (PuraPly AM) case series is a prospective, observational study for patients who have received PuraPly AM which consists of a collagen sheet coated with polyhexamethylenbiguanide hydrochloride (PHMB) and is intended for the management of wounds; no experimental intervention is involved.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the consequences of 3 selected surgical procedures on abdominal wall perfusion in order to help to reduce postoperative complication related to inadequate tissue perfusion. The selected surgical procedures are a) abdominoplasty, b) breast reconstruction with a free flap from the lower abdomen and c) endovascular stenting of an abdominal aorta aneurism. These operations are all standard surgical procedures frequently performed at the University Hospital of North Norway, Tromsø. The abdominal wall perfusion will be evaluated with the use of Dynamic Infrared Thermography (DIRT).

This is randomized controlled double-blinded trial comparing the scar outcomes of diathermy versus scalpel surgical incisions in the neck. It was conducted in humans in an Afro-Caribbean (black) population.

To explore the potential factors for unintended initial dissection of the posterior plane in a large sample retrospective analysis and surgeons of different levels.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about blepharoptosis cases in national referral hospitals in Indonesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How is the clinical characteristics, types, and surgical evaluations of blepharoptosis in this particular setting Participant who include in this study is a patient diagnosed with blepharoptosis cases and complete medical history from January 2016 to December 2020 across 10 tertiary hospitals in Indonesia from 5 provinces

The purpose of this study is to determine whether topical application of calcium glycerophosphate will result in superior wound appearance and scar minimization.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Spiracur SNaP® Wound Care System for the treatment of acute trauma and acute surgical excision wounds. The secondary purpose will be to compare the prospective patients to retrospectively treated acute trauma wounds to further evaluate efficacy and safety.

The investigators aim to compare the effect of changing their outer surgical gloves with a new pair of sterile gloves just prior to abdominal closure versus no intervention in the incidence of postoperative wound infections in pregnant women undergoing Caesarean section. The primary outcome is the incidence of any post cesarean wound related complication, including wound seroma, skin separation of at least 1cm, wound infection, or other incisional abnormality requiring treatment within 8 weeks of surgery, while the secondary outcomes are Postoperative fever: defined as greater than 38 degrees Celsius or post cesarean endometritis: defined as a clinical diagnosis, usually involving fever, uterine fundal tenderness, or purulent lochia requiring antibiotic therapy or Combined wound complications and endometritis.

Based on limited published epidemiological data, up to an alarming 1 in 50 surgical inpatients die within 30 postoperative days. Based on our own data from the B-Unaware (NCT00281489) and BAG-RECALL (NCT00682825) clinical trials, 30-day postoperative mortality among high-risk surgical patients is comparable to this at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, and 1-year mortality among high-risk surgical patients may be as high as 10%. Short- and intermediate-term postoperative mortality is therefore a pressing public health concern. Similarly, postoperative major morbidity - including delirium, stroke, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, blood clots, renal dysfunction, wound infection, pneumonia, respiratory failure, loss of functionality, and chronic pain - occurs commonly and affects a substantial proportion of surgical patients, critically ill patients and patients undergoing procedures for chronic pain. Many factors associate strongly and independently with postoperative mortality and major morbidity: patient age, functional status, comorbid medical conditions, and duration and invasiveness of surgery, among others. It is a strategic priority to identify pre- and intraoperative risk factors that are subject to modification.
