Effect of Materials for Subcuticular Suture (Quill vs. Monocryl) on Complications After Liver Resection

Description

This study investigates the effect of materials used in subcuticular suture on patients' outcomes after surgery. The prevention of surgical site wound infection is important to decrease the length of hospital stay and the post-operative risk of incisional hernia, especially in patients undergoing open hepatectomy (surgical removal of the liver). The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of the use of Quill versus Monocryl for subcuticular suture on patients' outcomes after surgery.

Conditions
