简要总结
Surgical site infections (SSI) are a frequent complication in abdominal surgery. SSI lead to worse outcomes for the affected patients and significantly higher healthcare costs. Closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) consists of a non-invasive, vacuum-assisted system that applies negative pressure to closed surgical incisions. It is currently unclear, if ciNPWT reduces SSI in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. This trial will investigate the effect of ciNPWT on SSI in abdominal surgery.
详细描述
Background:
Surgical site infections (SSI) are a frequent complication after abdominal surgery and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, longer hospital stay, and significantly increased healthcare costs. Closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) is a non-invasive, vacuum-assisted system that applies negative pressure to closed surgical incisions. Recent meta-analyses suggest that ciNPWT reduces the risk of SSI in abdominal surgery. However, based on the available randomized controlled trials (RCT), the evidence for the effect of ciNPWT on SSI in abdominal surgery is insufficient.
Rationale:
Considering the frequent occurrence of SSI in abdominal surgery, associated worse outcomes, and insufficient evidence, an adequately powered, robust RCT investigating the effect of ciNPWT on SSI in elective and emergency abdominal surgery is warranted. Provided that ciNPWT significantly reduces the incidence of SSI, this adjunct to surgical therapy has the potential to fundamentally improve patient outcomes in abdominal surgery.
Aim of the trial:
