Clinical Trial: Vacuum-Assisted Closure Versus Graduated Primary Skin Closure for Postoperative Burst Abdomen

U.S., Sept. 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07797868) titled 'Vacuum-Assisted Closure Versus Graduated Primary Skin Closure for Postoperative Burst Abdomen' on Aug. 27.

It leads to extended hospital stays, high treatment costs, and an increased risk of long-term incisional hernia.
