Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Quick Skin Sealant in Closure of Surgical Wound After Laparoscopic Surgery

Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term effect of sealant-assisted skin closure in prevention of surgical site infection after laparoscopic surgery.

Detailed Description: * Study design: A prospective cohort study * Populations: Patients who have confirmed diagnosis of gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), inflammatory bowel disease and diverticula decide to receive laparoscopic surgery. * Surgical techniques: laparoscopic operations should be successfully performed with a 3-4 cm minimal incision left for sample retrieval. In all, about five trocar-associated mini incisions and a sample-retrieval incision would be left prior to skin closure. * Skin closure: A quick skin sealant would be applied to achieve a seal, without any suture made under the skin. * Postoperative treatment: An enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) bundles would be applied for enrolled subjects. As for wound management, additional wound cares are not required. Patients can take shower at postoperative day 3 (POD3). * Primary endpoint: The primary study endpoint is freedom from surgical site infection (SSI) within 30 days. The incidence of surgical site infection with the first 30 days after surgery would be explored.
