NCT03781206

Brief Summary

Stoma reversal is associated with high incidence of post-surgical complications, including Surgical Site Infections (SSI). Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has been successfully applied to surgical wound management, reducing the SSIs incidence. This is a randomized open-label trial to assess the efficacy of NPWT in decreasing the rate of SSI after stoma reversal.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Surgical Site Infection (SSI) rate comparison

    The rate of superficial (infections involving only the skin and subcutaneous tissue) or deep (infections involving the muscle and the fascia but not organ space) SSI will be assessed by medical examination

    Post-operative day 7

  • Surgical Site Infection (SSI) rate comparison

    The rate of superficial (infections involving only the skin and subcutaneous tissue) or deep (infections involving the muscle and the fascia but not organ space) SSI will be assessed by medical examination

    Post-operative day 30

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Wound healing timing comparison

    Post-operative day 30

  • Quality of life assessment

Study Arms (2)

Standard of Care (SOC)

NO INTERVENTION

After stoma reversal, patients of SOC group will be treated as for normal clinical practice, using a simple adhesive wound dressing.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)

EXPERIMENTAL

PICO™ 7 will be applied after stoma reversal

Device: PICO™ 7

Interventions

PICO™ 7DEVICE

PICO™ system (Smith\&Nephew Healthcare, Hull, UK) is a Single-Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System consisting of a small portable pump, 2 lithium batteries, 2 dressings and fixation strips.
