Could less wound care after surgery be just as safe?
NCT ID NCT06263205
Summary
This study tested whether leaving a surgical wound uncovered after gastrointestinal cancer surgery is as safe as changing the dressing every two days. Over 1,100 patients were randomly assigned to either have their initial dressing removed after two days with no further coverage, or to receive standard dressing changes. Researchers compared the two groups to see if skipping dressings led to more wound problems, and if it reduced patient pain and medical costs.
