Incisional Hernia Prevention After Open Hepatectomy by Small Tissue Bite Fascial Closure: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Who is this study for? Patients undergoing hepatectomy for malignant diagnosis
What treatments are being studied? Short stitch suture
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other, Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 2
SUMMARY
This clinical trial compares two different kinds of surgical closing techniques, short stitch suture or traditional suture, in patients who are having liver tumor surgery. This study may help researchers learn if one technique can lower the chances of developing a hole in the wall of the abdomen (an abdominal hernia) at the incision site better than the other.
