Short Stitch Versus Traditional Suture for the Prevention of Incisional Hernia After Open Hepatectomy

Incisional Hernia Prevention After Open Hepatectomy by Small Tissue Bite Fascial Closure: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Sponsor

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Enrollment

140 participants

Start Date

Jan 4, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Liver Liver and Intrahepatic Bile Duct Neoplasm Primary Malignant Liver Neoplasm

Summary

This clinical trial compares two different kinds of surgical closing techniques, short stitch suture or traditional suture, in patients who are having liver tumor surgery. This study may help researchers learn if one technique can lower the chances of developing a hole in the wall of the abdomen (an abdominal hernia) at the incision site better than the other.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing two different stitching techniques for closing the abdomen after liver surgery (hepatectomy) — a traditional wide-stitch method versus a newer small-stitch method — to see which better prevents hernias from forming at the incision site. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You are scheduled for elective liver surgery (hepatectomy) for a cancer diagnosis - Your incision will be a midline or inverted-L cut on the abdomen **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You already have an abdominal hernia - You have previously had mesh placed during abdominal surgery - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
