Ostomy Primary Closure With 0.1% Betaine/Polyhexanide Wound Irrigation Compared to Pursestring Closure (NCT06309368)
To Close or Not to Close: Surgical Site Infection Rates in Ostomy Primary Closure With 0.1% Betaine/Polyhexanide Wound Irrigation Compared to Conventional Ostomy Closure by Secondary Intention
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of closure in patients with ostomies that are ready for closure. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Surgical site infection rates 2. Patient quality of life 3. Time to wound healing Participants will undergo either complete ostomy wound closure after washing out the wound with Prontosan, or their ostomy wound will be closed using the Pursestring method, where the wound will be left partially open and allowed to heal from the inside out. Researchers will compare these two groups' outcomes (questions to be answered) as listed above.
