Application of Hyperoxygenated Fatty Acids in a Surgical Wound After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Overview

TITLE: Application of hyperoxygenated fatty acids (PrevOmega) in a surgical wound of the umbilical trocar after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with placement of prostheses in patients with risk factors. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of topical application of hyperoxygenated fatty acids (AGHO), PrevOmega, at the umbilical trocar level after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with prosthesis placement, regarding its non-application, on the infection rate. of the surgical site (ISQ) and eventration of the trocar orifice (EOT), in patients with risk factors for ISQ AND EOT. METHODS: A prospective, double-blind, randomized study was performed in patients operated on for scheduled cholelithiasis, who also had any of the following risk factors that increase the appearance of SSI or OOT: BMI\> 30kg / m2, Diabetes Mellitus, age\> 65 years and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Group A was administered physiological saline (SSF) at the umbilical trocar level at the end of the intervention versus the administration of PrevOmega to group B. The study was carried out between January 2018 and January 2020 and is registered in the European Database of Clinical Trials with the EudraCT Code: 2018-002260-67.
