Incidence of postoperative adhesions after laparoscopic myomectomy with barbed suture

Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation Oct 01, 2020

Kumakiri J, Kikuchi I, Kitade M, et al. - Researchers examined postoperative adhesion incidence by baseball running suture using barbed suture (BS) vs sutures using an absorbable thread in laparoscopic myomectomy. Among 215 patients who underwent second-look laparoscopy (SLL) 6 months after laparoscopic myomectomy, 28 and 187 patients had application of running baseball sutures and running sutures with unidirectional BS and absorbable thread, respectively, to close the incised serosal wounds enucleating largest myomas during laparoscopic myomectomy. Outcomes revealed similar incidence of postoperative adhesion following the use of BS for wound closure in laparoscopic myomectomy to that following the use of conventional suture.
