Compare two ways to close incisions after abdominal surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial studies which incision closure technique leads to fewer wound problems after planned abdominal surgery. If you’re having elective midline surgery, your surgeon may use one of two closure methods to help determine the safest approach.
