This trial tests a “skin decolonization” routine using medicated skin cleaning to help lower the risk of surgical site infections after abdominal surgery. You may be eligible if you recently had an open abdominal incision and your wound is healing as expected at discharge.
This study tests whether cleaning the vagina with betadine before a cesarean section helps lower the chance of infections after surgery. The goal is to make recovery safer and easier for women having either planned or emergency C-sections.
This trial compares two solutions (salt water vs. povidone-iodine antiseptic) used to clean the belly during emergency surgery. The goal is to see which one better prevents wound infections.
This trial is testing whether a diluted povidone-iodine (a common germ-killer) rinse inside the belly during surgery can prevent infections better than a plain saltwater rinse. It is for adults having abdominal surgery for certain types of wounds.
This trial compares using skin glue plus stitches versus stitches alone to close the skin after a planned c-section. It aims to see if adding glue leads to better healing.
This study compares cleaning the wound with plain salt water versus a diluted antiseptic solution after a planned C-section. The goal is to see which method better prevents infections for mothers with certain health conditions.
