Importance: Surgical site infections frequently occur after open abdominal surgery. Intraoperative wound irrigation as a preventive measure is a common practice worldwide, although evidence supporting this practice is lacking.
Objective: To evaluate the preventive effect of intraoperative wound irrigation with polyhexanide solution.
Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the leading complications in health care. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is meanwhile widely prophylactically used for preventing SSIs. For evaluating the results of the implantation of this technique, we used the Simon single-arm study design and examine whether NPWT has a prophylactic effect on reducing SSIs in a cohort of general surgery patients.

Method: With a sample size calculation for a medium effect size difference that 3D reduces significantly postoperative complications, data of 287 patients with 3D visualization and 832 with 2D procedure were screened.
Introduction: Basic therapy is of central importance in the treatment of atopic eczema. Using electron microscopic images, the morphology of epidermal skin barrier and its lipids was investigated after application of a lipid foam cream and basic cream.
Methods: Patients with two contralateral comparable atopic eczema (local SCORAD 1-10) on the forearms were tested.
