Wound Healing After Dirty/Contaminated Emergency Abdominal Surgery: Prevena™ Incision Management System vs Conventional Management

Comparison in abdominal wound healing after contaminated or dirty surgery with incisional negative pressure wound therapy versus standard dressing.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

All patients submitted to contaminated or dirty abdominal surgery have more risk of surgical site infections. The investigators intend to randomize this kind of patients and comparison wound healing after dressed with incisional negative pressure wound therapy or standard dressing.

In the study group INPWT (Prevena) is positioned immediately next surgery and dressed for six days. Every patients will be medicate in sixth, ninth, fifteenth and thirtieth day after surgery and will be valued wound healing with a scale score.

Moreover for each patient it will be assessed risk developing wound complications through possum score and comorbidities.
