Detailed Description
Participating subjects will be randomized to one of the study groups: Group 1 (Control group) or Group 2 (Treatment group). If randomized to Group 1- after surgery, the doctor will apply the standard non-stick gauze dressing to the wound. If randomized to Group 2- after surgery, the doctor will apply the PICO dressing to the wound.
The goal of the study is to measure the rate of wound complications based on wound assessment, patient-reported outcomes surveys, as well as peri- and post-operative data.
