OC-072 COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE TROCAR SITE INCISIONAL HERNIA INCIDENCE ACCORDING TO SLOW VS RAPID ABSORPTION SUTURES

Abstract Aim Abdominal wall closure guidelines recommend the utilization of slow absorption sutures. However, fast sutures are still used for laparoscopic trocar site closure, mainly due to ease handling and availability. We planned a retrospective cohort study, analysing incidence hernia (TSH) depending on suture fascial closure. Materials & Methods A study is carried out including sample 200 patients operated in our centre by any elective procedure, Hasson access technique at umbilical site. Patients were distributed 2 groups, according used: Group-1 Polyglactin, Group-2 Polydioxanone. In both groups needle that was employed had J-shape. open or robotic surgery, reinterventions, previous diagnosis excluded. Results 100 included Group-1, Group-2. The average age 57.34 63.39 years respectively. TSH 20% with an follow up 22.3 months, compared 15% Group-2, follow-up 20.3 months. These differences not statistically significant. 80% diagnosed first 24 months after surgery. Conclusions Likewise existing evidence surgery use probably reduces incidence, without repercussion comorbidity, however, enough prove statistical significance. results should be contrasted further randomized Control Trials.
