Analyzing Wound Closure in Surgery of Open Inguinal Hernia

This prospective comparison research included 100 individuals who had simple open inguinal hernia surgery. 50 patients had skin closure through traditional suture (Ethion 2-0) while the other 50 had skin closure using a skin stapler. Each patient's period of skin closure was recorded. Patients were checked in on the seventh post-operative day. Sutures and skin staplers were removed on the 10th and 12th post-operative days, and patients were followed up on after 3 months. In comparison to the suture group, the stapler group had fewer post-operative problems, less post-operative discomfort, was cosmetically superior, took less time for skin closure, and required less time for stapler removal. Still, the skin stapler cost somewhat more than ordinary sutures.
