All recruiting trials (6)
-
Prophylactic subcutaneous drainage after gynecologic cancer surgery
This study tests whether placing a small drain under the skin after gynecologic cancer surgery helps prevent wound problems in women with thicker tissue under the skin.
-
Subcutaneous Tissue Closure After Abdominal Surgery
This trial tests whether closing the fat layer under the skin after abdominal surgery lowers the chance of infection in adults.
-
Bedside ultrasound to detect early post‑laparotomy wound fluid and predict infection
This project will try bedside ultrasound on adults after open abdominal surgery to see if early fluid under the skin predicts a surgical site infection.
-
Skin glue plus buried stitch versus buried stitch alone for cesarean wound closure
This trial tests whether adding skin glue to the buried stitch improves wound healing, scar appearance, and patient satisfaction after elective cesarean delivery in adults.
-
Clindamycin cream versus povidone-iodine vaginal cleansing to prevent infections after cesarean
This compares clindamycin vaginal cream to 10% povidone-iodine vaginal cleansing before an elective cesarean to see if one prevents post‑operative infections better.
-
Predicting and preventing surgical wound infections after brain or spinal tumor surgery
This trial will test whether a machine-learning tool that flags people having brain or spine tumor surgery for extra infection-prevention care can lower their risk of surgical wound infections.
