Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Different Closure Methods for Laparoscopic Port Sites
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Laparoscopic Cosmesis
- Registration Number
- NCT00466648
- Lead Sponsor
- New York Presbyterian Hospital
- Brief Summary
This study wishes to compare patient satisfaction and cosmesis of two different closure methods of laparoscopic ports. One method uses tissue adhesive (Dermabond) with a deep sub-cutaneous stitch and a Band-Aid dressing. The comparison method uses a 3.o undyed vicryl transcutaneous stitch, with a Bacitracin and Tegaderm dressing.
