Study Objective: To compare postoperative pain in patients using an abdominal binder with a control group after laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery.
Design: A randomized controlled trial (Canadian Task Force classification level 1).
Setting: An academic gynecologic surgeon's practice.
Patients: Private patients undergoing surgery performed by a fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon between April 2016 and April 2017.
Interventions: Ninety total patients were selected for this study, with 60 randomized to receive an abdominal binder after surgery and 30 patients randomized to the control group without a binder.
Measurements And Main Results: Using a 10-point verbal analog scale, patients recorded pain levels for 3 weeks postoperatively on a variety of measures, including overall and incisional pain. They recorded results on postoperative days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 14, and 21. On average, the association between time and the overall pain score did not differ with binder use (p = .37). The overall pain decreases significantly over time (p < .001). After adjusting for time, the overall pain score differed significantly by binder status (p = .04). Those without a binder reported an average pain score that was 1.13 (standard deviation = 0.55) points higher than those with a binder across the first week.
Conclusion: The results suggest that abdominal binder use after LESS surgery may be beneficial in reducing postoperative pain in the first week. Results from this study can provide feasibility data for future studies.

Background: Abdominal binders are a prominent non-pharmacological intervention aimed at mitigating adverse outcomes following Cesarean delivery (CD), including pain and distress.
Aim: We conducted a meta-analysis to quantitatively evaluate the effects of abdominal binders on women undergoing CD.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted using terms such as "abdominal binder," "clinical trials," and variations of "cesarean" across multiple electronic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.

This randomized controlled intervention study aims to determine the effect of an abdominal binder on pain, bleeding, and breastfeeding success after cesarean delivery. The study was conducted with women who underwent cesarean section and were followed-up for the first 48 hours at the obstetrics clinic of a state hospital in Türkiye between September 2020-March 2021. The study was completed with a total of 128 women who met the inclusion criteria (Intervention (IG):64, Control (CG):64).

Although non-immunoglobin scaffold binders with high affinity and broad spectrum for albumin are attractive for lab-scale albumin purification, affinity chromatography based on these binders has not been developed. Here, the albumin-binding capabilities of representative binders, including protein G-derived albumin binding domain (ABD), albumin binding nanofitins (ABNF), and human serum albumin affimer 31 (HSA31) were predicted by interaction structure analysis and verified by experimental assays. Interaction structure prediction suggested that ABD possessed great potential to bind human (HSA), rhesus monkey (RhSA), mouse (MSA), and rat serum albumin (RSA), whereas ABNF might only bind HSA and bovine serum albumin (BSA), and HSA31 might not bind any of the tested albumins.

Introduction: Abdominal binders consist of a wide compression belt that encircles the abdomen, theoretically supporting the abdominal wall. However, their use after ventral hernia repair is debated. Therefore, this meta-analysis evaluates their efficacy.

Article Synopsis
- * A literature review of 16 studies found that while abdominal binders (AB) did not reduce hernia rates or complications, they helped decrease postoperative pain for 48-72 hours.
- * Despite their safety, the evidence does not support routine use of AB after surgery, indicating a need for more research on their benefits and costs.
