Trial summary

Wound healing after surgery is a complex procedure. Liquefaction of the fat and necrosis of inactivated tissue, as well as blood clots are always accumulated mostly within 24 hours after surgery. As such, early debridement within 24 hours after surgery might improve the healing of the wounds. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Early Debridement Within 24 Hours After Surgery Compared Routine Debridement (24 Hours Later) for Wound Healing of Abdominal Incision

Wound healing after surgery is a complex procedure. Liquefaction of the fat and necrosis of inactivated tissue, as well as blood clots are always accumulated mostly within 24 hours after surgery. As such, early debridement within 24 hours after surgery might improve the healing of the wounds. This study is designed to compare the impact of early debridement of the wound versus regular dressing (24 hours later) on the wound healing. 100 patients will be included in this study, and divided into 2 groups randomly. Then, the healing of the wound, stitch removal time, incidence of incision complications will be compared between the two groups.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. healing time, d (day)

    since the ending of surgery to stitches off.

    Measured: From date of surgery to the date of stitches off (up to 1 month)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. incidence of incision complications

    The incision complications include infection, dehiscence, fat liquefaction, etc.

    Measured: From the date of surgery to stitches off (up to 1 month)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Debridement Within 24 Hours After Surgery in people with Surgical Wound, run by First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

healing time, d (day) (time frame: From date of surgery to the date of stitches off (up to 1 month)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Dec 2021.
