Do Antibacterial Skin Sutures Reduce Surgical Site Infections After Elective Open Abdominal Surgery?-A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Single-Center Trial.

J Clin Med

November 2024

Department of General, Visceral and Thoracic Surgery, Agaplesion Diakonieklinikum Rotenburg, 27356 Rotenburg (Wuemme), Germany.

: The general use of triclosan-coated suture material (TCSM) for wound closure to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs) remains controversial. There is no conclusive evidence in the literature to support this and recommendations by professional organizations are contradictory. Therefore, the main objective of the study was to evaluate the 30-day rate of surgical site infections (SSIs) after elective open abdominal surgery using triclosan-coated versus uncoated running sutures (NCSM) for skin closure.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied if using special sutures (triclosan-coated sutures) helps prevent infections and problems after surgery on the belly.
  • They found that these special sutures might reduce the chances of infections, but they weren't sure it helped with another issue called abdominal wall dehiscence.
  • Overall, while no strong proof was found to say these sutures prevent the belly problem, they do seem to lower infection rates after surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • - A literature search was executed using the PubMed and Scopus databases to find articles on antibacterial-coated sutures in oral surgery published between January 2013 and May 2023, without language restrictions, plus additional studies identified through references of included articles.
  • - The study focused on human clinical research, including various study designs like RCTs and case reports, and excluded non-human, in vitro, or non-research articles. Study selection involved two authors, with conflicts resolved by discussion or a third reviewer.
  • - From 150 articles, 5 studies were ultimately included, with a majority being RCTs involving 10 to 40 mostly healthy patients. The sutures in these studies were predominantly coated with antimicrobial agents

Aim and objectives The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) rates in abdominal wound closure utilizing antibacterial-coated (triclosan-coated) suture material versus conventional suture material with subcutaneous antibacterial infiltration along the incision line. Materials and method This prospective and comparative (randomized, non-blinded clinical trial) was conducted at the Postgraduate Department of Surgery, Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital, associated with Motilal Nehru Medical College, Prayagraj, India. The sample size was calculated to be one hundred.
