NCT00417651 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2011-12-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether creating a gastrotomy (hole in the stomach) during gastric surgery increases a patient's risk of intra-abdominal infection.

We hypothesize that a gastrotomy does not contaminate the abdomen with clinically significant bacterial pathogens.
