Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that improves the appearance of the abdominal contour. Among the techniques used to reduce complications are progressive tension sutures (PTSs), which involve the use of sutures that fix a flap at several points to the underlying tissue.
A nonrandomized clinical trial was performed from April 1 to November 30, 2023. Patients older than 18 years who underwent abdominoplasty were included. The variables studied were age, body mass index, comorbidities, surgical time, and postoperative complications.
Twenty-eight patients were included, 14 with conventional closure and 14 with PTSs closure, with a mean age of 37.6 (SD 9.1) years and 39.9 (SD 6.8) years, respectively. In the conventional closure group, 3 (21.3%) patients presented complications, 2 (14.3 %) presented seromas, and 1 (7.1%) presented wound dehiscence, whereas the PTS group did not present any complications ( = 0.067). A mean operative time of 137.8 (SD 16.6) minutes was found for conventional closure and 167 (SD 12.0) minutes for PTS closure ( ≤ 0.001).
Our study showed that the technique with PTS did not present complications compared with the conventional closure. Our results are comparable with the literature.
腹壁成形术是一种改善腹部轮廓外观的整形手术。用于减少并发症的技术包括渐进性张力缝合(PTS),即使用缝线在多个点将皮瓣固定于深层组织。
于2023年4月1日至11月30日进行了一项非随机临床试验。纳入年龄大于18岁且接受腹壁成形术的患者。研究的变量包括年龄、体重指数、合并症、手术时间和术后并发症。
共纳入28例患者,14例行传统缝合,14例行PTS缝合,平均年龄分别为37.6(标准差9.1)岁和39.9(标准差6.8)岁。在传统缝合组中,3例(21.3%)患者出现并发症,2例(14.3%)出现血清肿,1例(7.1%)出现伤口裂开,而PTS组未出现任何并发症(P = 0.067)。传统缝合的平均手术时间为137.8(标准差16.6)分钟,PTS缝合为167(标准差12.0)分钟(P≤0.001)。
我们的研究表明,与传统缝合相比,PTS技术未出现并发症。我们的结果与文献报道相当。
