| Abstrakt: | Study Objective: To compare closure times, cuff healing, and postoperative dyspareunia between barbed and traditional sutures during laparoscopic total hysterectomy. Design: A randomized clinical trial (Canadian Task Force classification I). Setting: A university hospital. Patients: Sixty-three women undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Interventions: Total laparoscopic hysterectomy was performed using standard techniques. The vaginal cuff closure method was randomized to barbed suture (Quill; Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Vancouver, Canada) or standard suture (Vicryl; Ethicon Inc., Somerville, NJ). The time required for cuff closure was documented. Patients were examined postoperatively to assess cuff healing, and a standardized sexual function questionnaire was administered preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively. Measurements and Main Results: The mean vaginal cuff closure time was 10.4 minutes versus 9.6 minutes in the barbed versus standard suture group (p = .51). Cuff healing appeared similar between the 2 groups. Rates of dyspareunia, partner dyspareunia, and sexual function were similar in both groups at 3 months postoperatively. Vaginal cuff closure times were significantly faster among attendings compared with residents/fellows (7.1 vs. 12.8 minutes, respectively; p < .0001). The study was designed to have a statistical power of 80% to detect a difference of 5 minutes in cuff closure time between the 2 groups (α level of 0.05). Conclusion: Laparoscopic vaginal cuff closure times are similar when using barbed sutures and braided sutures. (Copyright © 2013 AAGL. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.) |
