First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether removing surgical dressings the day after abdominal surgery is as safe as keeping them on for about a week. About 1,288 adults having planned abdominal surgery will be randomly assigned to stop dressings on day 1 or day 6. The main goal is to see if early removal increases the risk of wound infections within 30 days.
