PICO study after groin surgery incisions
Part of Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at what happens after planned (not emergency) groin blood-vessel surgery, specifically around the incision area. It may help improve how incisions heal and reduce problems after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having planned (elective) vascular surgery.
- Your surgery will involve an incision in the groin area (inguinal area).
- The groin incision will be either across (transverse) or along (longitudinal).
- You can understand the study and sign written consent.
- Your surgery is not an emergency, and you do not have an active infection in the groin area.

This trial tests a special wound dressing (negative pressure therapy) used right after belly surgery to see if it helps prevent wound problems. It may be an option for people who are having a first-time laparotomy and are in good general health.
This trial compares two different ways of making an incision (cut) in the groin during blood vessel surgery. It aims to find out if one direction leads to better healing or fewer complications.
This study compares two types of wound dressings (PICO 7 vs PICO 14) in people having a repeat (revision) hip or knee operation. It aims to see which dressing works better to help the surgical wound heal after surgery.
This study tests a special bandage that uses suction to help knee replacement incisions heal better. It may reduce the chance of wound problems for people with higher health risks.
This trial tests if negative pressure wound therapy (a special dressing that uses gentle suction) helps heal large cuts from emergency belly surgery better than a standard dressing. It may reduce infections and improve recovery.
This trial studies whether a special suction dressing (negative pressure) helps healing at the skin-graft donor site for people getting a fibula free flap. It may reduce complications and improve how the graft takes, compared with standard care.
