Povidone-iodine vs Saline Solution in Colorectal Surgeries and Its Effects on the Surgical Site Infection
Sponsor: Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre
Summary
Considering the relatively high incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) in colorectal surgery, this trial will compare rates of SSI in patients undergoing colorectal resections followed by surgical wound irrigation with povidone-iodine versus the group of patients undergoing surgical wound irrigation with saline solution. The trial will be conducted in a large university hospital in Southern Brazil.
