چکیده
With the developments in technology, lots of innovations were brought into the use of medical society. Suture material including barb technology (V-Lock) is one of them and it is important for doctors who have limited experience in laparoscopic intracorporeal knot tying. In this article; the advantages and disadvantages of this useful absorbable suture material and its utilization in laparoscopic operations will be mentioned.

When performing laparoscopic gastrectomy, suturing the intestinal anastomosis presents one of the greatest challenges. The V-Loc unidirectional barbed suture has been introduced to eliminate the need to tie knots during closure. This device offers a fast, secure, and effective alternative to conventional suture repair during laparoscopic surgery. However, there have been reported cases of surgi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Our aim was to evaluate whether the use of barbed suture for vaginal cuff closure is associated with a decrease in postoperative vaginal bleeding compared with cuff closure with polyglactin 910 in patients who have undergone laparoscopic hysterectomy. METHODS We performed a cohort study of patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy between January 2008 and July...

متن کاملUnidirectional barbed suture versus standard monofilament for urethrovesical anastomosis during robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
PURPOSE V-Loc™180 (Covidien Healthcare, Mansfield, MA) is a new unidirectional barbed suture that may reduce loss of tension during a running closure. We evaluated the use of the barbed suture for urethrovesical anastomosis (UVA) during robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Time to completion of UVA, post-operative anastomotic leak rate, and urinary incontinence were compared in p...
