This study tests whether placing a small drain under the skin after a deep abdominal incision for gynecologic cancer surgery helps prevent wound problems. It may be a good fit if you have a thicker layer of belly fat and are having a planned surgery.
This study compares two methods of closing the fat layer during a planned C-section to see which one helps prevent wound infections. If you are having a planned C-section, you may be eligible to join.
This trial tests whether a special vacuum-sealed dressing (called VSD) helps heal surgical wounds that became infected after obstetric or gynecological surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment speeds healing and reduces complications.
This trial tests a special vacuum bandage (called a negative pressure wound therapy device) placed on the wound after emergency belly surgery. The goal is to see if it helps prevent infections in people with diabetes, who are at higher risk for wound problems.
This trial tests a new way to clean under the skin after a C-section to reduce the chance of infection. If you are having a C-section, this study may help improve healing.
This study looks at whether removing the surgical dressing sooner or later after a C-section affects how well the wound heals in women with a higher body weight. It may help find the best way to care for the incision and reduce healing problems.
