Overview

Quasi-experimental study shows polydioxanone has lower surgical site infections in patients, suggesting it may be the better choice.

Key Points

  • Polydioxanone resulted in significantly fewer surgical site infections than polypropylene after laparotomy.
  • Out of 140 patients, 41.4% in Group A experienced infections compared to 28.5% in Group B.
  • This quasi-experimental study included patients undergoing elective laparotomy with a follow-up duration of six months.
  • Polydioxanone also linked to lower rates of wound dehiscence and incisional hernia than polypropylene.
