| Excerpt: | “Among adult patients with intrabiliary stents, the use of a dual-ring wound protector during [pancreaticoduodenectomy] significantly reduces the risk of incisional SSI (surgical site infection).” |
| Excerpt: |
“. . . We demonstrated evidence of a subgroup difference where dual-ring wound protectors reduced SSIs while single-ring retractors did not, which provides greater insight in the choice of wound protection devices. “Our meta-analysis found that dual-ring wound protectors reduce the odds of SSI (surgical site infection) in patients undergoing lower gastrointestinal surgery. . . .” |
| Excerpt: |
“. . . Our study suggests that the use of wound protectors decreases the risk of SSI by 45%. Our number needed to treat suggests that only 10 patients would have to be treated intraoperatively with a wound protector to prevent 1 SSI. . . . “Impervious plastic wound protectors reduce the risk of SSI (surgical site infection) when employed in non-trauma-related gastrointestinal and biliary tract surgery. Wound protectors represent a safe and simple intervention that may reduce postoperative morbidity and mortality. . . .” |
| Excerpt: | “In summary, use of a plastic wound retractor may result in reduced enteric bacterial colonization of the surgical incision site during gastrointestinal surgery. Reduced colonization of the surgical incision site by enteric bacteria due to the use of a plastic wound retractor should result in a reduction in SSI (surgical site infection) following gastrointestinal surgery.” |
| Excerpt: | “The ALEXIS wound retractor is more effective in preventing SSI (surgical site infection) in elective colorectal resections compared with conventional methods.” |
| Excerpt: |
“These results suggest that the [wound protector] protects an incision site from bacterial invasion.” “. . . [W]e consider that the low incidence of SSI (surgical site infection) may have resulted from the protective effects of the [wound protector]. . . .” |
| Excerpt: | “In this study the use of barrier wound protection in elective open colorectal resectional surgery resulted in a clinically significant reduction in incisional surgical site infections. Barrier wound protection of this nature should be considered routine in this type of surgery.” |
| Excerpt: | “. . . Our data support the use of a wound-protection device in open surgery as a method of decreasing postoperative wound-infection rates. This technique could be applied to a broader spectrum of open surgical procedures and ultimately reduce the economic and emotional burden of a preventable SSI (surgical site infection).” |
| Excerpt: | “. . . The results of this study demonstrate that wound infection decreased significantly in the With Alexis retractor group.” |
