Article Synopsis
- Incisional hernias can develop years after midline laparotomy, and this study compares the effectiveness of two types of sutures—PD Synth and PDS—in preventing them.
- A total of 88 patients were randomly assigned to receive either PD Synth or PDS sutures during their surgeries, with the main goal of assessing the incidence of incisional hernia and other related complications over a year.
- Results showed that both sutures had similar effectiveness, with only one hernia reported in each group, indicating that both can be used interchangeably for abdominal closure after surgery.
