A Comparative Study Of Skin Staples And Conventional Sutures In All Clean And Clean Contaminated Wound Closure In Elective Surgery.

[摘要] Today most surgical procedures are assessed by rigorous scientific methods, and suchprocedures become reproducible and predictable. A variety of techniques and materials are availablethese days for wound apposition. The present study is a comparative study consists of 200 casesadmitted in tertiary care centre Maharashtra during the study from Jan 2021 to July 2022. A 200 casesfor the purpose of the study were selected randomly to receive either staples or conventional suturesfor clean and clean contaminated skin wound closures in elective surgery.On pain score, group A hadscore between 1 to 4 and group B had between 5 to 9. Hence, we conclude that skin staplers aresuperior to sutures for better wound cosmesis, in reducing the post operative pain, wound infection,seroma formation and very much significant in saving time for skin closure. Hence this studyrecommends the use of skin staplers.
