Testing for Bacterial Contamination During Gastric Surgeries

Completed

Conditions studied: Gastric Surgery

In brief

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether creating a gastrotomy (hole in the stomach) during gastric surgery increases a patient's risk of intra-abdominal infection. We hypothesize that a gastrotomy does not contaminate the abdomen with clinically significant bacterial pathogens.
