Staged abdominal surgery outcomes for trauma patients
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well patients recover after staged abdominal surgeries (done in steps) for injuries from a traumatic event. It aims to find out if doing surgery in stages, rather than all at once, leads to better outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an injury to your abdomen from a traumatic event, like a car accident or a fall.
- You had surgery to open your abdomen (exploratory laparotomy) at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital.
- Your surgery happened between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2024.
- You did not have a cardiac arrest before arriving at the hospital or while in the hospital.
- You did not have severe injuries (score of 4 or higher) in other body parts, like the head or chest.
- You survived for at least 24 hours after your most recent surgery.

This study looks at outcomes and whether emergency general surgery care is delivered fairly. It may help improve how hospitals support people having urgent abdominal surgery.
This study uses a simple scoring system (called the Surgical Apgar Score) during emergency abdominal surgery to predict which patients may need care in the intensive care unit (ICU) after the operation. The goal is to help doctors plan the best postoperative care for you.
This trial compares different surgical techniques—open, laparoscopic (keyhole), and robotic—for emergency abdominal surgery. By joining, you may help doctors learn which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes for patients like you.
This study looks at patients with severe injuries to the belly area to find out which factors affect whether they survive their hospital stay. The goal is to improve care for people with these serious injuries.
This trial collects information from routine minimally invasive surgeries to better understand what happens during operations and how it may affect your recovery. Researchers hope to find ways to improve surgical care and outcomes.
