NCT06302335
Brief Summary:
Considering the relatively high incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) in colorectal surgery, this trial will compare rates of SSI in patients undergoing colorectal resections followed by surgical wound irrigation with povidone-iodine versus the group of patients undergoing surgical wound irrigation with saline solution. The trial will be conducted in a large university hospital in Southern Brazil.
Detailed Description:
Patients will be randomized to one of the following intervention groups:
Group 1: intraoperative irrigation/washing of the surgical incision with povidone-iodine (PVP-I); Detail: after aponeurotic synthesis and immediately before cutaneous synthesis, the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the surgical incision will be irrigated and washed abundantly with approximately 500ml (depending on the size of the incision) of povidone-iodine solution (PVP-I). The exact volume to be used will be the minimum volume necessary for abundant and efficient washing of the incision tissues. " Group 2: intraoperative irrigation/washing of the surgical incision with saline solution (NaCl 0.9%); Detail: after aponeurotic synthesis and immediately before cutaneous synthesis, the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the surgical incision will be irrigated and washed abundantly with approximately 500ml (depending on the size of the incision) of saline solution (NaCl 0.9%). The exact volume to be used will be the minimum volume necessary for abundant and efficient washing of the incision tissues.
NOTE: other care routines for participating patients will not be changed by this study. Patients will receive mechanical colon preparation and antibiotic prophylaxis according to routines already in place by the assistant team.
Randomization: the block randomization method will be used (blocks of 4 patients each).
Groups 1 and 2 will be compared with each other regarding the outcomes.
