Quick Skin Sealant in Closure of Surgical Wound After Laparoscopic Surgery

Phase 2
Conditions
Surgical Site Infection
Colorectal Cancer
Diverticula
Gastric Cancer
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Complications of Surgical Procedures
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
Interventions
Procedure: Laparoscopic surgery
Device: Skin sealant
Registration Number
NCT02426762
Lead Sponsor
First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term effect of sealant-assisted skin closure in prevention of surgical site infection after laparoscopic surgery.

Detailed Description

* Study design: A prospective cohort study

* Populations: Patients who have confirmed diagnosis of gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), inflammatory bowel disease and diverticula decide to receive laparoscopic surgery.

* Surgical techniques: laparoscopic operations should be successfully performed with a 3-4 cm minimal incision left for sample retrieval. In all, about five trocar-associated mini incisions and a sample-retrieval incision would be left prior to skin closure.

* Skin closure: A quick skin sealant would be applied to achieve a seal, without any suture made under the skin.

* Postoperative treatment: An enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) bundles would be applied for enrolled subjects. As for wound management, additional wound cares are not required. Patients can take shower at postoperative day 3 (POD3).

* Primary endpoint: The primary study endpoint is freedom from surgical site infection (SSI) within 30 days. The incidence of surgical site infection with the first 30 days after surgery would be explored.

Sealant skin closureLaparoscopic surgeryA quick skin sealant would be applied after laparoscopic surgery. All abdominal wounds are sealed by smearing the quick sealant (skin adhesive) twice. No additional gauges should be appended on wound areas. No further wound care should be applied unless any effusion or bleeding emerged around it.
