Drain under skin after gynecologic cancer surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are having planned abdominal surgery for a gynecologic cancer
- Your surgeon measures the fat layer under your belly skin to be at least 2.5 cm thick
- You are willing to sign a consent form before surgery
- You do not have an active infection or a very weak immune system
- Your surgery is not an emergency
