Scientific titleComparative study of a barbed suture, polyglecaprone and stapler in Pfannenstiel incisions performed for benign gynaecological procedures: a randomised trial
Study objectivesAre there any differences between three suture materials on post-operative incision pain, patient satisfaction and scar cosmesis?

Please note that as of 11/02/10 this trial has been updated to included participants aged 18-65.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of the Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Research and Training Hospital approved on the 26th March 2009 (ref: 17/28.05.2009)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedBenign gynaecological diseases/skin incision closure
InterventionThis trial is taking place at the Istanbul Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Research and Training Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Approximately 117 patients will be recruited, 39 patients in each of the following three groups:
1. Skin incision closure with a barbed suture (copolymer of glycolide and e-caprolactone)
2. Skin incision closure with intracutaneous polyglecaprone
3. Skin incision closure with stapler

Patient allocation will be carried out as follows:
A computer based randomisation will be prepared. The skin closure type will be printed on identical sheets of paper, which will be put into identical, consecutively numbered sealed opaque envelopes by a non-participating colleague.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure1. Pain for skin incision (post-operative third day)
Secondary outcome measures1. Patient satisfaction (post-operative sixth day)
2. Scar cosmesis score (post-operative third month)
