Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Closed Incision Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (Prevena)
Other interventions - Control - Standard Dressings
Experimental: Closed Incision Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (Prevena) - Patients are randomised intra-operatively to either Prevena or standard dressings as long as inclusion criteria are met, and no exclusion criteria met. This is left in-situ for 7 days, unless clinically indicated.
Active comparator: Standard Dressings - Patients are randomised intra-operatively to either Prevena or standard dressings as long as inclusion criteria are met, and no exclusion criteria met. Standard care wound dressings are applied for patients in this arm. These are changed as clinically appropriate whilst in hospital.
Treatment: Devices: Closed Incision Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (Prevena)
Closed Incision Negative Pressure Wound Device (Prevena) applied to closed wound at completion of operation.
Other interventions: Control - Standard Dressings
Standard wound dressings applied to closed wound at completion of operation.

Pain score (numeric rating scale)

0
Comparison of patient reported post-operative wound pain scale between groups utilising a generic numeric rating scale (NRS) for pain.
A numeric rating scale is a way a patient can report pain from 0-10, 0 being no pain, 10 being extreme pain. Minimum score is 0, maximum score is 10. It is better to have less pain, therefore 0 is the best score possible.

3. Thickness
4. Relief
5. Pliability
6. Surface area
7. Overall opinon of scar The patient scale questions are listed below and are each scored from 1 to 10, 1 being normal skin, 10 being the worst scar imaginable.
1. Has the scar been painful the past few weeks? 2. Has the scar been itching the past few weeks? 3. Skin Colour 4. Skin stiffness 5. Skin Thickness 6. Scar irregularity 7. Overall opinion of scar The total score for patient and observer subscales is out of 70 each, for a combined total of 140 (both subscales added together). The minimum possible score is 14 and the maximum score is 140.

0
Comparison of quality of life scores reported by patients in each group using the EQ-5D-5L quality of life scale.
The scale is split into 5 subscales;
1. mobility
2. self-care
3. usual activities
4. pain/discomfort
5. anxiety/depression. Each subscale is ranked from 1 to 5, 1 being nil pain/quality of life disturbance, 5 being extreme pain/quality of life disturbance. The subscales are reported separately and are not combined.
The patient also completes an overall health assessment from 0-100, 0 being the worst health imaginable, 100 being the best health imaginable. This is also reported and analysed separately.

Summary
Brief summary
This study is a multicentre, partially-blinded randomised controlled trial, with site stratified block randomisation and partial blinding of outcome assessments. Patients undergoing a renal transplant will be allocated to one of two treatment arms, where either a Prevena device of appropriate size or standard dressing is applied to the closed incision. In the case that a patient requires bilateral incisions, both incisions will be allocated to the same treatment arm and counted as a single incision. Primary: The primary objective of this study is to determine if the Prevena Incision Management System reduces wound complications at the surgical site following renal transplant, when compared to standard dressings. Secondary: Secondary objectives of this study include identification of risk factors for wound complications at the surgical site, as well as re-operation, prolonged hospital stay, allograft survival, delayed graft function. This study will also assess pain, scar healing and quality of life in each treatment arm, and aim to complete a cost-benefit analysis of the Prevena device in renal transplantation.
