Omental Herniation: A Rare Complication of Vacuum-Assisted Closure of Infected Sternotomy Wound
Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) has recently been adopted as an acceptable modality for management of sternotomy wound infections. Although generally efficacious, the use of negative pressure devices has been associated with complications such as bleeding, retention of sponge, and empyema. We report the first case of greater omental hernia as a rare complication of vacuum-assisted closure of ster...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of techniques for closure of midline abdominal incisions.
BACKGROUND Various randomized studies have evaluated techniques of abdominal fascia closure but controversy remains, leaving surgeons uncertain about the optimal method of preventing incisional hernia. METHOD Medline and Embase databases were searched. All trials with a follow-up of at least 1 year that randomized patients with midline laparotomies to closure of the fascia by different suture...
متن کاملEffect of stitch length on wound complications after closure of midline incisions: a randomized controlled trial.
HYPOTHESIS In midline incisions closed with a single-layer running suture, the rate of wound complications is lower when a suture length to wound length ratio of at least 4 is accomplished with a short stitch length rather than with a long one. DESIGN Prospective randomized controlled trial. SETTING Surgical department. PATIENTS Patients operated on through a midline incision. INTERVENT...
متن کاملWound strength after midline laparotomy: a comparison of four closure techniques in rats
The primary objective of this study was to determine which closure technique simple interrupted suture (SIS), simple continuous suture (SCS), interrupted double loop closure (IDLC) or continuous double loop closure (CDLC) results in stronger wound repair after midline laparotomy. Surgery was performed on 48 male rats. On the 5th postoperative day the rats were sacrificed and wound strength was ...
