Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
The skin stapling devices have revolutionized surgery for the purpose of rapid closure of abdominal wounds. However, staples have their own drawbacks. In view of this, this retrospective study has been undertaken to highlight the outcomes of closure by staples and sutures with respect to speed of closure, cost effectiveness and postoperative wound dehiscence, acceptance of scar and postoperative pain. To compare between the routine suturing (2-0 / 3-0 non absorbable monofilament nylon suture material) with skin stapler placement for the closure of abdominal surgical wounds with respect to speed of closure, cost effectiveness, postoperative pain, postoperative wound infection and dehiscence and patient acceptance of scar.
