Does the Difference in Fascial Closure Technique Affect Postoperative Pain?

Study Objective: To compare postoperative incisional pain on postoperative days (PODs) 1 and 14 when using a fascial closure device (FCD) versus a traditional fascial closure (TFC) of the 12-mm upper quadrant port during robotic surgery. Time required to close the incision was also compared.

Design: Randomized controlled trial (Canadian Task Force classification I).
