A new method for attachment of a belt-loop gastropexy using disposable, stainless steel skin staples was compared with a traditional hand-sewn belt-loop gastropexy technique in 24 fresh dog cadavers. Mean gastropexy times were 212 seconds for the stapled technique and 435 seconds for the hand-sewn technique. The stapled belt-loop gastropexy was significantly faster than the hand-sewn technique (P less than 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the mean maximum tensile strength between the two attachment methods. This study provides a basis for clinical evaluation of the stapled belt-loop gastropexy technique in dogs.

Background.Lichtenstein tension free repair is the most commonly used technique due to cost effectiveness, low recurrence rate, and better patient satisfaction. This study was done to compare the duration of surgery and postoperative outcome of securing mesh with skin staples versus polypropylene sutures in Lichtenstein hernia repair.Materials and Methods.A total of 96 patients with inguinal hernia undergoing Lichtenstein mesh repair were randomly assigned into two groups. The mesh was secured either by using skin staples (group I) or polypropylene sutures (group II).Results.The operation time was significantly reduced from mesh insertion to completion of skin closure in group I (mean 20.7 min) as compared to group II (mean 32.7 min) with significantPvalue(P<0.0001)and less complication rate in group I as compared to group II.Conclusion.Mesh fixation with skin staples is as effective as conventional sutures with added advantage of significant reduction in the operating time and complications or recurrence. The staples can be applied much more quickly than sutures for fixing the mesh, thus saving the operating time. Infection rate is significantly decreased with staples.

This study aimed to compare patients’ satisfaction and outcome of caesarean section wound closure by skin staples and subcuticular suture at discharge and 6 weeks of postoperation. It was a randomized controlled trial of pregnant women scheduled for caesarean section at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, allocating them to wound closure by skin staples or subcuticular suture. Pain was assessed using the box numeric pain scale. Scar assessments were by patient, research nurse, and independent observers using the visual analogue scale, modified patient observer scar assessment scale, and patient satisfaction scale. Operation time (minutes) was significantly shorter in the staple group, 40.26 (±16.53) compared to 47.55 (±14.55) in the suture group (P=0.025). Skin closure time (seconds) was significantly less in the staple group, 118.62 (±69.68) versus 388.70 (±170.40) in the suture group (P≤0.001). There was no difference in pain experienced, wound assessment by the participants, and patients’ satisfaction. Participants in the staple group scored higher on both scar assessment scales by the nurse (P=0.044). Cost comparison analysis showed that staple use costs significantly more than suture use (P<0.001). The perceived benefit of subcuticular suture over skin staples was not observed and participants were satisfied with both wound closure techniques.

Background: To compare cosmetic appearance of skin closure wound by three methods -sutures, staples and skin adhesive glue. Traditional skin closure using sutures causes more pain, infection, needs its removal, time consuming and leaves behind bad scar. Nowadays, good cosmetic appearance of operated site is appealing among patients. Surgeons are looking for faster, comfortable and cosmetically best technique for skin closure. Newer techniques need to be evaluated which are better than suture and staples. 2-octylcyanoacrylate is easier to use, flexible, water resistant, pain free sealed skin closure without its need for removal and has better cosmesis.Methods: This study is conducted from July 2010 to April 2013 in 90 patients at LTMG Hospital. Wounds of clean surgeries closed with suture material, skin staples and skin adhesive glue were studied in 30 patients each. Patients were randomized using standardized methods. Patients followed up over period of 28 days and their scars were assessed according to the modified Hollander cosmesis scale(MHCS) and cosmetic visual analogue scale(VAS). Patient allotment was done using random number table.Results: Mean MHCS score for skin adhesive group on day 7 was 4.83 which was significantly more than 3.90for suture and 3.97 for stapler. Mean VAS score for skin adhesive group on day 7 was 67.67 which was significantly more than 61.67 for suture and stapler each. Mean MHCS and VAS score for skin adhesive group on day 7, 14 and 28 were significantly more than suture and stapler groups.Conclusions: Octylcyanoacrylate can be used for skin closure in clean elective surgeries with better cosmetic outcome as compared to staples and sutures.

Objective: To compare the cosmetic outcome, pain and tenderness around the operation scar of carpal tunnel syndrome surgery using either nylon, polyglactin 910 or stainless steel sutures for skin closure. Methods: A randomised clinical trial comparing nylon, polyglactin 910 or stainless steel sutures for skin closure in 61 patients undergoing carpal tunnel syndrome surgery was performed. Pain, tenderness, scar hypertrophy, redness and the presence of granulomas were assessed in all patients at ten days and six weeks after surgery and compared by non-parametric statistical tests. Results: Adequate surgical decompression of the median nerve could be achieved in all patients. All but two patients experienced significant relief of tingling of the fingers. Nearly all patients reported some degree of discomfort around the scar. At ten days, the mean pain score was 1.7 (±2.2), 3.1 (±2.3) and 1.9 (±2.3) for the nylon, vicryl and steel groups, respectively. At six weeks, the pain score was 3.6 (±3.1), 3.4 (±2.6) and 2.7 (±2.1) for the nylon, vicryl and steel groups, respectively. The infection rate was 0%, 8% and 0% for the nylon, vicryl and steel groups, respectively. Suture granulomas were significantly more present in the vicryl group (p<0.05). There were no statistical differences in redness or hypertrophy of the wound between the three groups. Conclusions: Nylon and stainless steel sutures are both suitable for skin closure after carpal tunnel surgery. Based on this study, absorbable vicryl sutures should not be used, since the incidence of infections and the presence of suture granulomas was much higher than in the nylon and steel suture groups.
