NCT06063629 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 180

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Surgical site infections (SSI) pose a common challenge in the field of surgery. Current evidence and literature do not provide clear consensus whether the use of subcutaneous drainage will help reduce the incidence of SSI in patients who underwent abdominal surgery, especially in wounds that are categorized as contaminated (class 3) or dirty/infected (class 4).

The objective of this clinical study is to compare the rate of surgical site infection in contaminated and dirty/infected surgical wounds among patients whose wounds are inserted with subcutaneous drainage and patients who are not inserted with subcutaneous drainage.
