Implication

This randomized controlled trial compares outcomes of polydiaxanone and polypropylene sutures in abdominal wall closure, showing significant benefits of PDS.

Key Points

  • PDS sutures reduced wound dehiscence to 3.0% compared to 10.0% in polypropylene sutures, demonstrating improved efficacy.
  • Surgical site infections were significantly lower in the PDS group (p = 0.03), indicating better wound management.
  • Postoperative pain scores improved at 7 and 14 days for the PDS group (p = 0.02), highlighting its patient-friendly nature.
  • Length of hospital stay showed no significant difference, supporting PDS's effectiveness without prolonged recovery.
