An interventional study of pNBYT in Colorectal Cancer, Surgery and Surgery--Complications, sponsored by TC Erciyes University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-02-02.

This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial in order to determine the effect of prophylactic negative pressure wound therapy for the prevention of surgical site complications in high-risk colorectal cancer surgery.
Hypothesis: Prophylactic negative pressure wound therapy applied after open colorectal cancer surgery to high-risk patients affects surgical wound complications.
pNBYT group: The study was completed with a total of 50 patients, 24 of intervention group anda 26 of the control group, who met the inclusion criteria at the surgical oncology service of a university hospital.
The data were collected using Patient Identification Form, Surgical Procedure Form, Wound Follow-up Chart and ASEPSİS Wound Scoring System. Ethics committee approval and written informed consent of the individuals was taken in the research.
The data were analyzed in SPSS Statistics 24.0 program using Shapiro Wilk test and Q-Q graphs, Independent Sample t test, Mann Whitney U test, Chi-square, Cochran's Q and Friedman test. The value of p\<0.05 was accepted for the statistical significance level. It was determined that the groups were similar in terms of identification and surgical procedure characteristics.
The effects of negative pressure wound treatment applied to high-risk patients after open colorectal cancer surgery on four SWCs, including surgical site infections, hematoma, seroma, and wound dehiscence, were studied. The study started before surgery and lasted up to one month after surgery.
Preoperatively, patients fasted for eight hours before the operation and were required to take a shower with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate at night. The patients who required surgical hair removal were shaved with a clipper in the operating room before the operation. Also, patients received 1g of ampicillin + sulbactam/cefazolin within 60 minutes before the incision.
670 studies on the registry are indexed under Surgical Wound Infection; 141 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 50 is below the median of 200 across 514 interventional studies indexed under Surgical Wound Infection.

Patients undergoing open colorectal cancer surgery, clean-contaminated (Class-II) or contaminated (Class-III) wounds, ASA 2, 3, or 4, and fulfilling at least one of the following criteria were included:
Exclusion Criteria:
-
pNPWT device was placed in the pNPWT group for seven days. The incision area was evaluated during the first seven days, and on the 15th, 21st, and 30th days postoperatively for the presence of hematoma, seroma, wound dehiscence/evisceration, and SSI.
Device: pNBYT
The wound of the control group was covered with a sterile gauze dressing. After the wound was left closed for 48 hours in the clinical routine, the surgical site was left open, supporting healing. Therefore, the dressing of the control group was removed after 48 hours, and the wound was left open. The incision area was evaluated during the first seven days, and on the 15th, 21st, and 30th days postoperatively for the presence of hematoma, seroma, wound dehiscence/evisceration, and SSI.
pNPWT device (80mm Hg) was placed in the pNPWT group for seven days The incision area was evaluated during the first seven days, and on the 15th, 21st, and 30th days postoperatively for the presence of hematoma, seroma, wound dehiscence/evisceration, and SSI.
surgical wound complications (SWC)
surgical site infection, seroma, hematoma, wound dehiscence/evisceration
Time frame: postoperative 30th day
The ASEPSIS Wound Scoring System
is a quantitative scoring method that provides a numerical value regarding the severity of the SSI by using objective criteria based on the appearance of the wound. The wound score is categorized into five stages: 0-10 points are considered satisfactory healing, 11-20 points disturbance of healing, 21-30 points minor wound infection, 31-40 points moderate wound infection, and ≥41 points severe wound infection.
Time frame: All participants will be followed up 4 times during a month (seven days, 15th, 21st, and 30th days
length of stay in the hospital
Time frame: 30days
