Secondary Versus Tertiary Wound Closure in High Risk Gynecologic Abdominal Surgical Incisions

Stopped: Slow accrual

United States8 participantsStarted 2019-02-27

Plain-language summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine if closing a surgical wound differently is better than the procedure that is currently used. The wound will be closed with what is considered "tertiary intent." This means, rather than leaving the wound open, the wound will be partially closed after surgery, and then completely closed 4-7 days after surgery. The investigators also want to see how this new wound closure process affects your quality of life.
