The Incidence of Surgical Site Complications in Transverse Versus Longitudinal Groin Incision in Vascular Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The purpose of the study is to examine whether incision type has an influence on the development of groin wound complications after operation in the groin in vascular surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a transverse incision in the groin lead to fewer surgical site complications than a longitudinal incision? Does a transverse incision lead to fewer readmissions, fewer reoperations, shorter length of hospital stay, and a lower amputation rate. Participants will undergo vascular surgery in the groin with either a transverse or longitudinal incision. The incision type will be selected randomly.
