NCT05692986 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2023-01-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a randomized control trial which will randomize patients who will be undergoing laparoscopic (conventional or robotic assisted) total hysterectomy to vaginal prep with 4% chlorhexidine gluconate vs 10% povidone iodine. There is paucity of information regarding the superiority of one over the other.

Conditions

  • Preventative Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

A vaginal swab for aerobic and anaerobic cultures before antibiotic administration, 30 minutes after vaginal prep and every hour thereafter until the surgery is completed.

This is a randomized control trial that will compare chlorhexidine vaginal prep with iodine vaginal prep. Our primary outcome will be assessed using a vaginal swab test to look for aerobic and anaerobic cultures. Positive cultures will be defined as colony forming count of \>5000cfu. All patients will receive preoperative antibiotics. Patients will receive a vaginal swab for aerobic and anaerobic cultures before antibiotic administration, 30 minutes after vaginal prep and every hour thereafter until the surgery was completed.
