Antibiotic Tissue Penetration in Head and Neck Infection and Reconstructive Surgery
This study tests how well common antibiotics reach head and neck tissue in adults with neck infections or during nasal reconstructive surgery using a flap.
-
Longer antibiotic prophylaxis after head and neck cancer surgery
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics for 7 days after major mouth and throat cancer surgery reduces wound infections compared with the standard 24-hour course.
-
Risk factors for mesh infection after abdominal wall reconstruction
This study tests which factors put adults at risk for mesh infection after abdominal wall reconstruction using different mesh types.
-
Preoperative Fasting to Shape the Gut with Hip Replacement
This trial tests whether a 20-day preoperative fasting plan can lower inflammatory signals and broaden gut microbes in adults undergoing total hip arthroplasty.
-
Can infrared thermography help predict how skin wounds heal after surgery?
This study tests if a harmless infrared camera can spot early signs of wound problems after skin surgery so clinicians can act sooner.
-
Cold (non-thermal) plasma to improve healing and reduce complications after thyroid removal
This will test whether applying helium-based non-thermal (cold) plasma during total thyroidectomy helps wounds heal faster and reduces pain, inflammation, and infections in adults having their thyroid removed.
-
Amicidin-β topical treatment for infected surgical and traumatic wounds
This Phase 1 trial will test whether applying Amicidin-β topical solution into infected surgical or traumatic wounds during a procedure is safe and how much of the drug enters the bloodstream for adults who need wound intervention.
-
Reducing skin and nose bacteria before skin cancer surgery to prevent infection in lower leg wounds left to heal
This trial will test whether showering with Hibiclens and using mupirocin in the nostrils before surgery lowers infection risk for adults having skin cancer surgery on the lower leg whose wounds are left open to heal.
-
Lower leg skin grafts after tumour removal: does negative pressure dressings help or not?
This trial tests whether negative pressure wound therapy over split-thickness skin grafts on the lower leg reduces infection compared with traditional dressings in adults after skin tumour removal.
-
Using an app to detect surgical wound infections
This study is testing a smartphone app that helps patients check for surgical wound infections after surgery to see if it works better than regular doctor visits.
-
Comparing scar outcomes from different incision techniques in mastectomy
This study is testing which type of incision technique during mastectomy leads to the best-looking scars for patients who aren't having immediate breast reconstruction.
-
Improving respiratory care for patients having high-risk abdominal surgery
This study is testing whether using a special mouthwash and different amounts of oxygen before surgery can help reduce the chances of pneumonia and infections in patients having major abdominal surgery.
