The use of novel knotless barbed sutures in posterior long-segment lumbar surgery: a randomized controlled trial

The study carries the aim to compare the clinical efficacy and economic outcomes of using barbed suture closure versus conventional closure for wounds after posterior long-segment lumbar surgery. One hundred and eighty-one patients undertaking posterior long-segment lumbar surgery participated in th...

Description
Summary:The study carries the aim to compare the clinical efficacy and economic outcomes of using barbed suture closure versus conventional closure for wounds after posterior long-segment lumbar surgery. One hundred and eighty-one patients undertaking posterior long-segment lumbar surgery participated in the prospective randomized controlled trial study to receive either barbed suture wound closure (n = 91) or conventional suture closure (n = 90). Outcome measures included operating room time (ORT), wound closure time, length of incision, length of hospital stay (LOS), 90-day readmission rates, wound complications of dehiscence and infection, and costs. Barbed suture group was related with significantly lower ORT (P = 0.036), wound closure time (P
