Fascia Repair with Vicryl Suture in Urologic Surgeries

Fascia Repair with Vicryl Suture in Urologic Surgeries

Abstract

Background: Closing the fascia after surgery should be quick, easy, and strong but comfortable for the patient. Polydioxanone thread is not available in Iran. Thus, we used Vicryl sutures for almost all patients. Methods: This study was conducted at Imam Reza and Imam Khomeini Medical Centers in Ardabil from January 2018 to January 2020. The fascia was continuously sutured with size 0 or 1 of Vicryl in a double layer for all patients in the Urology Department. Results: Here, 642 patients were evaluated in two years. The fascia suturing was at the site of the inguinal, midline Gibson, and flank areas. The data showed that incisional hernia and infection were more prevalent in obese and diabetic patients. We had no incisional complications in radical cystectomy or even kidney transplantation, which are complicated and time-consuming surgeries. Overall, the surgical site complication rate (including incisional hernia and surgical site infection) was 0.9%, which could be negligible. Conclusions: The fascia repair could be treated with Vicryl suture in a continuous form in all urologic surgeries, with a very low rate of wound infection and hernia at the operation site, sinus formation, and long-term surgical site discomfort. However, we suggest more research to confirm the Vicryl suture safety in urologic fascia repairs.
