Vacuum vs. gauze: which heals stoma scars better?
NCT ID NCT07258134
Summary
This study tested two ways to care for the wound after a stoma reversal surgery, where an opening in the abdomen is closed. Researchers compared a vacuum-sealed dressing (NPWT) to a standard gauze dressing to see which one better prevented wound infections and led to better-looking scars. The trial involved 72 adult patients and measured infection rates and scar appearance one month after surgery.
