This trial compares two ways of giving an antibiotic called cefazolin during and after major orthopedic surgery to see which is better at preventing surgical site infections. If you are having major bone or joint surgery, this study might help reduce your risk of infection.
This trial tests whether rinsing the surgical area with a special liquid called PREVENTIA® before spinal fusion surgery reduces bacteria and lowers infection risk. It may help people having planned back surgery with screws or implants.
This study tests whether keeping blood sugar tightly controlled after brain surgery can reduce the chance of infection at the surgical site. If you are having planned brain surgery and have no active infections, this trial may help improve your recovery.
This study is building a tool to predict the risk of surgical site infection after brain or spinal tumor surgery. It may help you understand your personal infection risk before your procedure.
This study tests a special dressing that uses gentle suction to help surgical cuts heal better and reduce the chance of infection after gynecologic surgery. If you are at higher risk for wound problems, this dressing might help you recover more smoothly.
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.
