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
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
140 participants
Jan 4, 2022
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
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.
