Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of interrupted sutures versus continuous barbed sutures in laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, focusing on risks such as leaks and stenosis.
- After analyzing 100 patients, both suture methods showed no post-operative complications after 6 months, indicating safety for both techniques.
- The continuous barbed sutures significantly reduced suture time and costs, suggesting that they could improve standard surgical practice in this procedure.
