Objective: To compare suture versus staple closure of skin following open cholecystectomies in terms of surgical site infection. Design: Randomized controlled trial study Duration and Place of Study: 12 months duration from 10/01/2016 to 10/01/2017 which was conducted at Surgical Department, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. Patients and Methods: A total 250, (125 each group), patients were included in the study by using confidence interval of 95% and power of the test as 80% under WHO sample size calculations with 4% surgical site infections for vertical mattress and 14% for stapling. Moreover, non-probability consecutive sampling technique was used for sample collection. Results: In this study mean age in Group A was 44 years with SD ± 2.77. Where mean age in Group B was 46 years with SD ± 3.12. In Group A (35%) patients were male and (65%) patients were female. In Group B (32%) patients were male and 85(68%) patients were female. Group A (staples) was effective in 92% patients whereas Group B (suture) was effective in 85% patients. Conclusion: Our study concludes that staples are more effective than sutures in closure of skin following elective open cholecystectomy in terms of prevention of surgical site infection.
