Study start date: February 28, 2025

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This clinical trial is investigating if a special type of dressing called a hydrocolloid dressing, specifically DuoDERM EXTRA THIN, can be a better option for patients undergoing oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery. These surgeries involve the area around the eyes and face, which can be sensitive and require careful healing. Normally, after such surgeries, patients need to apply antibiotic ointment, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient. This study seeks to find out if using this dressing can replace the ointment and simplify post-operative care, making recovery easier for patients. In this study, participants will have the hydrocolloid dressing applied immediately after their surgery. The dressing will stay in place until their follow-up appointment one week later, at which point it will be removed. Researchers will evaluate how well the dressing works in terms of healing and whether it effectively reduces the need for additional care like applying ointments. This approach aims to lessen the burden of post-surgery care and improve overall patient experience by potentially offering a simpler and effective wound care solution.
