研究概览
简要总结
This is a prospective, Phase II (hypothesis generating) randomized pilot study investigating the efficacy of using Dermabond as a method of final wound closure as compared to the standard staple method in children with Neuromuscular Scoliosis undergoing spinal deformity correction surgery.
详细描述
- To explore whether there is a difference in the incidence of wound infection in the Dermabond group vs. the skin staple group as measured by microbiological culture four days post-operatively. Wound infection is defined as prolonged sterile discharge (>4 days), positive wound cultures, or cellulitis four or more days post-operatively.
- To explore whether there is a difference in the cosmetic result of the wound closure as measured by the Hollander wound evaluation scale. Our hypothesis is that the Dermabond group will have a better cosmetic result. Secondary outcome
- To explore whether there is a difference in the time for final wound closure. Our hypothesis is that the Dermabond group will have a shorter time for final wound closure. Secondary outcome
- To explore whether there is a difference in mean caregiver/parental satisfaction scores as measured by a visual analog scale. Our hypothesis is that parental satisfaction will be higher in the Dermabond group. Secondary outcome

结局指标
主要结局
Difference in the incidence of wound infection in Dermabond group versus the skin staple group
时间窗: 12 weeks after surgery
To explore whether there is a difference in the incidence of wound infection in Dermabond group versus the skin staple group as measured by microbiological culture taken 4 days post-operatively. Wound infection is defined as prolonged sterile discharge , positive wound cultures, or cellulitis four or more days post-operatively.
