Brief Summary

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

Surgical site infection is a frequent complication after abdominal surgery. The wound closure is done at the end of the procedure when the attention of the entire team may be affected because of tiredness and reduced attention of the surgical team.

With this study, the investigators aim to test if an exchange of the surgical team by a specialised wound closure team may reduce the impact of surgical site infection.

Study Groups

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

Intervention Group

The intervention consisted in the closure of the abdominal wall and skin by a second surgical team which included a board-certified surgeon and a resident.

Changing the surgical team for wound closure

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The intervention consists of the exchange of the primary surgical team with a second surgical team that consists of one surgeon and one student. The first surgical team then may leave the operation theatre but is continuously accessible for questions.

Baseline Group

During the baseline period, closure of the abdominal wall was performed by the main surgical team, the same team that performed the whole surgery.

No interventions assigned to this group
