Short Stitch Versus Traditional Suture for the Prevention of Incisional Hernia After Open Hepatectomy
Incisional Hernia Prevention After Open Hepatectomy by Small Tissue Bite Fascial Closure: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 26 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This clinical trial compares two different kinds of surgical closing techniques, short stitch suture or traditional suture, in patients who are having liver tumor surgery. This study may help researchers learn if one technique can lower the chances of developing a hole in the wall of the abdomen (an abdominal hernia) at the incision site better than the other.
