It involves making a cruciate (cross-shaped) incision over the carbuncle. Unlike saucerization, it does not involve wide excision of tissue. Postoperatively, broad-spectrum antibiotics are administered to control the remaining cellulitis and infection. This technique is associated with less blood and tissue loss, a smaller final scar, and potentially faster initial healing. However, the patient's postoperative hospital stay may be prolonged until the sepsis is adequately controlled with antibiotics.",[9],{"type":20,"name":15,"description":24,"armGroupLabels":25,"otherNames":11},"This is a radical surgical procedure for a diabetic carbuncle. It involves the complete excision of all dead (necrotic) tissue at the center of the infection, along with the surrounding area of cellulitis. The goal is to achieve healthy, bleeding margins and remove the entire septic focus. While this extensive removal may eliminate the need for postoperative antibiotics, it is associated with significant intraoperative blood loss, which can necessitate a blood transfusion. The procedure results in a large wound that heals by secondary intention, often requiring subsequent skin grafting or flap coverage and leading to a larger scar.",[15],[27],{"name":28,"role":29,"phone":30,"phoneExt":11,"email":31},"Adnan Ali, MBBS","CONTACT","+92 334 4323941","heartheart5000@gmail.com",[33],{"facility":34,"status":35,"city":36,"state":37,"zip":38,"country":39,"countryCode":40,"cosmosGeoPoint":41,"geoPoint":46,"contacts":47},"King Edward Medical University\u002FMayo Hospital Lahore","RECRUITING","Lahore","Punjab Province","54000","Pakistan","PK",{"type":42,"coordinates":43},"Point",[44,45],74.35071,31.558,{"lat":45,"lon":44},[48,52],{"name":49,"role":29,"phone":50,"phoneExt":11,"email":51},"Ahmed U Qureshi, FCPS","+923144001410","ahmeduzairq@gmail.com",{"name":53,"role":54,"phone":11,"phoneExt":11,"email":11},"Adnan Ali, MS","PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR",{"type":56,"investigatorFullName":11,"investigatorTitle":11,"investigatorAffiliation":11,"oldNameTitle":11,"oldOrganization":11},"SPONSOR","100625871","comparison-of-wound-healing-for-diabetic-carbuncle-treated-with-incision-and-drainage-technique-using-cruciate-incision-vs-saucerization-technique-both-followed-by-vacuum-assisted-closure-100625871",false,"NCT07428265","Comparison of Wound Healing for Diabetic Carbuncle Treated With Incision and Drainage Technique Using Cruciate Incision vs Saucerization Technique Both Followed by Vacuum Assisted Closure.","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* All patients of either gender aged 25-70 years with ASA class 2-3 presenting to the emergency department with carbuncle requiring surgical drainage\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Failure to tolerate VAC\n* Patient with co-morbidities like: CKD, CLD, CVA\n* Patients not giving consent\n* Close to the anal opening\n* Wound near the joint","ALL","25 Years","70 Years",{"count":67,"type":68},124,"ESTIMATED","INTERVENTIONAL",[71],"NA","The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of two surgical techniques for wound healing in diabetic patients aged 25-70 years with a carbuncle requiring surgical drainage.
