Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 1 day–18 years - NCT07620184Recruiting
Parotid Gland Surgery With or Without a Drain
This study compares two ways to do parotid gland surgery (removal of a gland in front of the ear). One method uses a drain tube to remove fluid after surgery, and the other does not. Researchers want to see if skipping the drain is safe and improves recovery.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06614829Recruiting
C-section wound closure: standard vs. a new skin closure system
This study compares two types of wound closure after a planned C-section to see which one patients prefer and how it affects healing. It uses a special skin closure system that may reduce scarring and improve your recovery experience.
North York, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04256798RecruitingPhase 3
Respiratory care after high-risk abdominal surgery
This trial looks at a breathing-focused care plan given around the time of major abdominal surgery to improve recovery and outcomes. You may be eligible if you’re having a large midline abdominal incision and can be followed after surgery.
Botucatu, São PauloAges 10–100 - NCT07330154Recruiting
Gel for Faster Healing After Gum Graft Surgery
This trial tests a new gel (Nano Bio Fusion Gingival Gel) to see if it helps the roof of your mouth heal faster after a gum graft. It compares the gel to a placebo (inactive gel). The study is for people who need gum graft surgery for receding gums.
Irbid, Irbid GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07524062Recruiting
Thermal Imaging to Predict Surgical Wound Healing
This study uses thermal imaging (a camera that detects heat patterns on skin) to predict how well skin wounds will heal after surgery to remove suspicious or cancerous skin lesions. The goal is to identify which patients might have healing problems early so doctors can provide extra care.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT05689775Recruiting
Robot-assisted reconstruction using tummy muscle flap after surgery
This trial studies a specific way to rebuild the pelvic floor (and sometimes the vagina) after major rectal or anal cancer surgery. It uses robotic surgery and a flap taken from your tummy muscle to help close and reconstruct the area.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07615517Recruiting
Comparing wound-closure methods for abdominal surgery
This trial compares two ways of closing the layer under your skin after abdominal surgery to see which leads to better healing and fewer complications. You'll be randomly assigned to either have this inner layer stitched or left unstitched.
Augsburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06771726RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Can a smartphone app detect belly surgery wound infections?
This study uses an app with artificial intelligence (computer learning) to watch your surgical wound for signs of infection after belly surgery. If you have a smartphone, you can help test whether the app detects problems faster than usual care.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07735962Recruiting
Drain under skin after gynecologic cancer surgery
This study tests whether placing a small drain under the skin after a deep abdominal incision for gynecologic cancer surgery helps prevent wound problems. It may be a good fit if you have a thicker layer of belly fat and are having a planned surgery.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT05167994RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery radiation plus an anti-cancer drug for soft tissue sarcoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving radiation before surgery, along with anlotinib and penpulimab, can improve treatment for localized soft tissue sarcoma. It may help shrink or control the tumor before conservative surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06070454Recruiting
Study on infection and wound healing after vulvar surgery
This study looks at whether having an infection before surgery affects healing after removal of non-cancerous vulvar growths. It may help decide if treating infections first could lower complication rates.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06496321Recruiting
Comparing two leg vein removal methods for bypass surgery
This trial compares two ways of taking a vein from your leg during heart bypass surgery to see which causes fewer problems. The goal is to find the best method for your recovery.
