Subcuticular sutures offer superior pain relief for laparoscopic wound closure compared to transcutaneous sutures or adhesive strips. This method also provides comparable patient satisfaction and complication rates.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Wound Management
  • Dermatologic Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic procedures necessitate effective wound closure techniques.
  • Patient experience, including pain and cosmetic outcomes, is crucial in surgical recovery.
  • Various methods exist for closing laparoscopic port sites, each with potential benefits and drawbacks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare patient-reported pain, complications, and cosmetic satisfaction across different wound closure methods after laparoscopy.
  • To identify the optimal wound closure technique for laparoscopic surgery based on patient acceptability.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized, prospective study was conducted at a university-affiliated hospital.
  • Fifty-four women undergoing laparoscopy were enrolled.

  • Interventions included interrupted 3-0 nylon sutures, subcuticular 3-0 polyglactin 910 sutures, or adhesive strips for skin closure at port sites.

    • Main Results:

    • Subcuticular wound closure resulted in significantly less pain at 5-mm, 10-mm, and umbilical port sites compared to transcutaneous sutures or adhesive strips.
    • No statistically significant differences were observed in complication rates or patient satisfaction between subcuticular and transcutaneous closure methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Subcuticular wound closure techniques are recommended for laparoscopic procedures due to reduced patient pain.
    • The findings support the adoption of subcuticular methods for improved patient outcomes in laparoscopic surgery.
