View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effect of early versus delayed water exposure after cutaneous surgeries on the incidence of surgical site infections. Patients undergoing elective cutaneous surgical procedures will be randomly assigned to either early postoperative water exposure within 48 hours or delayed exposure after 7 days. Wound outcomes will be assessed using the Southampton Wound Grading System during follow-up visits. The study seeks to determine whether early water exposure is safe and whether it influences postoperative wound healing and infection rates.
