Clinical Trial: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Versus Direct Skin Closure for Burst Abdomen

U.S., Nov. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07922629) titled 'Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Versus Direct Skin Closure for Burst Abdomen' on Nov. 02.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT, also called vacuum-assisted closure) works better than direct skin closure for treating burst abdomen in adults. Burst abdomen is a serious complication of abdominal surgery in which the layers of the abdominal wall separate after the operation.

The main question it aims to answer is:
