Laparoscopic Myomectomy Using Barbed or Conventional Sutures
- Conditions
- Fibroid
- Registration Number
- NCT02166411
- Lead Sponsor
- Cairo University
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare operative data and early postoperative outcomes of laparoscopic myomectomy using barbed sutures with those of laparoscopic myomectomy using conventional sutures .
- Detailed Description
• Till now , there is only one small randomized controllrd study (n=22 in each arm) which compared the use of barbed suture with conventional suture in laparoscopic myomectomy .The myoma bed was closed with either conventional polyglactin suture or unidirectional barbed suture . The operative time was shorter in the barbed suture group (73.3 ± 21.4 min Vs. 80.7 ± 18.6 min) but this difference failed to reach statistical significance because of small sample size . However, the time required to suture the myoma beds was significantly lower in the barbed suture group .
