Early botox for closing the abdomen after surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving Botox early helps close the abdomen after surgery when it was left open. The Botox is injected to relax the muscles, which may make it easier to close the wound later.

This study tests if injecting botulinum toxin (a muscle-relaxing medicine) into the wound area during laparoscopic colon surgery can help the wound heal better and reduce scarring. It may be an option for adults having this type of surgery.
This trial tests if getting Botox shots in the belly muscles before hernia surgery makes the repair easier and more successful. It is for adults who need a planned, open surgery for a large ventral hernia.
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) before surgery can help close large holes in the belly wall by relaxing the muscles and making it easier to bring the edges together. This might reduce complications and improve healing after surgery.
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into the chest after open-heart surgery can improve how the scar looks and its impact on your daily life. It could help reduce scar prominence and discomfort.
This trial tests whether adding Botox injections to surgery helps repair large incisional hernias. It may lower the chance of the hernia coming back.
This trial studies whether injecting a Botox-like medicine into the pancreatic drainage area can help prevent a post-surgery pancreas fistula (a persistent leak). It’s for adults having a planned distal pancreatectomy, and it may help reduce complications after surgery.
