Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The amount and species of bacteria have been shown to have an effect in wound infections in several fields of surgery (such as gastrointestinal and orthopaedic surgery and the surgery of facial area). In vascular surgery, wound infections are a common and expensive complication. The aim of the present study is to investigate the prevalence of bacteria in vascular surgery wounds perioperatively, and determine whether is correlates with the incidence of wound infections postoperatively.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

bacterial cultures

Bacterial samples are collected preoperatively from urine, nose and possible lower limb ischaemic wounds, perioperatively from inguinal area and wound edges, and twice postoperatively. In addition, in case of a wound infection, bacterial samples are taken for diagnosis as usual.
