Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Main variables were hernia rates one month and one year after surgery, diagnosed by physical exploration and/or imaging. Demographic characteristics, risk factors, among other descriptive determinations were registered.
A total of 128 patients were performed an emergency midline laparotomies, and 110 meet all inclusion criteria. There was equality between sex and median age was 65 years old. Significative differences were observed regarding incisional hernia at 30 days, being less frequent when barbed suture was utilized. These differences were not present at the long-term reevaluation (one year).
In conclusion, midline laparotomy closure must be performed within quality standards. The lack of studies regarding emergency laparotomy closure, the European Hernia Society stated that no recommendations can be given on this patients. Barbed suture appears as a promising option for closure in these specific circumstances, but needs further study.
