Preventing infection in children's groin surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving antibiotics through a vein and using special stitches that fight germs can help prevent infections after open groin surgery in children. It may be helpful for children having routine groin surgery as a day procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is having open groin surgery (like for an inguinal hernia) and can go home the same day.
- Your child has not had surgery on the same area before.
- Your child does not have a weakened immune system.
- Your child is not malnourished.
- Your child does not have a complicated groin problem, such as a blocked hernia.

This study tests whether a local injection of gentamicin, an antibiotic, into the incision area can help prevent infections after a planned C-section. It may offer extra protection beyond standard antibiotics.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a broad set of preventive antibiotics before certain high-risk orthopedic surgeries lowers the chance of serious wound or bone infection. It mainly targets people who have contaminated wounds, tumor-related surgery, or known high-risk germs on the skin.
This trial tests a solution used to clean the surgical site during spine surgeries to see if it helps prevent infections. It is for patients having certain types of spine surgery for conditions like deformity, cancer, or trauma.
This trial tests a new way to prevent infections in people who have emergency surgery on their belly after a serious injury. The treatment is given during or right after surgery to lower the risk of infection.
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 trial studies whether placing an antibiotic powder (vancomycin) directly in the surgical wound during groin lymph node surgery can lower the risk of surgical site infections. It may help reduce wound infections after surgery for vulvar dysplasia.
