Abstract A total of 300 patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery over a 3-year period were randomly assigned to receive intraoperative peritoneal lavage with either taurolidine or saline. Culture swabs taken from the region before and after development postoperative infection monitored. Of positive culture lavage, significantly higher proportion negative than that However, there was no difference in incidence between groups, suggesting confers clinical benefit
Surgical site infection (SSI) affects up to 20% of people with a primary closed wound after surgery. Wound dressings may reduce SSI. To assess the feasibility multicentre randomised controlled trial (RCT) evaluate effectiveness and cost-effectiveness dressing types or no SSI in surgical wounds. Phase A - semistructured interviews, outcome measure development, practice survey, literature reviews value-of-information analysis. B pilot RCT qualitative research questionnaire validation.
