"Evaluating wound closure innovations in spinal surgery: impacts on efficiency and patient outcomes".
Neurosurg Rev
September 2024
Islamic International Medical College, Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
This study evaluates contemporary wound closure techniques in spinal surgery, focusing on the efficacy of barbed sutures, skin staples, and negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT), compared to traditional methods. Barbed sutures, like STRATAFIX™ Symmetric, and skin staples demonstrate significant advantages, including reduced wound closure time, lower infection rates, and improved surgical outcomes, particularly in multilevel or revisional procedures. In contrast, plastic surgery closures do not show a substantial reduction in postoperative complications despite being used in more complex cases.

Background: STRATAFIX, a recently introduced barbed suture device, incorporates self-anchoring, knotless sutures with higher tensile strength and enhanced tissue-holding capacity compared to traditional braided absorbable sutures. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of barbed sutures and interrupted sutures in capsular and fascial closure during total hip arthroplasty.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty between April 2017 and March 2021.
Safety and Efficacy of Barbed Sutures Compared to Non-barbed Sutures in Bariatric Surgery: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Department of Bariatric Surgery, King Abdullah Medical City, Makkah, 24246, Saudi Arabia.
Purpose: Mastering intracorporeal suturing is challenging in the evolution from conventional to laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Among various techniques competing for superiority in overcoming this hurdle, we focus on exploring the potential of barbed sutures through a meta-analysis that compares outcomes to those of conventional non-barbed sutures in bariatric surgery.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search on PubMed, Scopus, and Embase to identify studies comparing barbed sutures with non-barbed sutures in bariatric surgeries, focusing on outcomes such as operative time, suturing time, postoperative complications, and hospital stay.
The efficacy of STRATAFIX® spiral PDS for vesicourethral anastomosis during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: a single-center retrospective study.

Faculty of Medicine Graduate School of Medicine, Shimane University, Izumo, Shimane, Japan.
Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of continuous suturing using barbed suture for vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA) during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Materials And Methods: Seventy-three consecutive patients who underwent RARP by a single surgeon between 2020 and 2022 were retrospectively divided based on the suture type used for VUA: group A, 3-0 poliglecaprone-25 RB-1 needle (Monocryl®), n = 46; group B, 3-0 spiral polydioxanone (PDS) barbed suture with RB-1 needle (STRATAFIX®), n = 27.
Results: There was no significant difference in patient background characteristics between groups, including age, body mass index, and clinical stage.

To investigate the safety and efficacy of pelvic peritoneal reconstruction and its effect on anal function in laparoscopy-assisted anterior resection of low and middle rectal cancer. A prospective cohort study was conducted. Consecutive patients with low and middle rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopy-assisted transabdominal anterior resection at Naval Military Medical University Changhai Hospital from February 2020 to February 2021 were enrolled.
