Brief summary public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate if a negative-pressure dressing placed over a surgical incision can reduce the risk of developing a surgical site infection compared to a commonly-used sterile gauze incision dressing. In this study, the negative-pressure dressing will be compared to a standard post-surgical sterile gauze dressing. In this study patients will either receive a negative-pressure dressing or a standard sterile gauze dressing
Detailed description public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine whether negative pressure therapy applied to closed laparotomy incisions can decrease the incidence of incisional surgical site infections in patients undergoing clean-contaminated resections for colorectal, pancreatic, and peritoneal surface malignancies compared to standard post-operative sterile gauze dressings. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. ARM I: Patients receive standard sterile dressing (SSD) over their closed laparotomy incision at the conclusion of their surgery. ARM II: Patients receive negative pressure therapy (NPT) dressing over their closed laparotomy incision at the conclusion of their surgery. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days.
