Triclosan-antibacterial Sutures Impact on the Incidence of Surgical Site Infection in Laparoscopic Surgeries.

ClinAmygate912 enrolled

Overview

Comparing the incidence of PSI in cases using coated Polyglactin 910 suture with Triclosan and cases using Polyglactin 910 suture without Triclosan in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy or laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

In this prospective study, we will determine the incidence of PSI in Egypt as well as the impact of using coated polyglactin 910 sutures with Triclosan in lowering the incidence of PSI in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy or laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
