Appendectomy Skin Closure Technique, Randomized Controlled Trial: Changing Paradigms (ASC)

Abstract: Open appendectomy skin closure with a unique absorbable intradermic stitch is safe, with a reduced seroma and abscess incidence, compared to traditional closure, and an equivalent dehiscence and superficial infection incidence, allowing a lower hospital attention cost and length of hospital stay for treatment of complications. The relative risk of complications with traditional skin closure is 2.91 higher, compared to this new technique.

“…In the RCT by Andrade et al comparing skin closure with a unique absorbable intradermal stitch and traditional closure technique (non-absorbable separated stitches), OA skin closure with the former has shown to be safe, with a reduced seroma and abscess incidence and an equivalent dehiscence and superficial SSI incidence. Furthermore, the relative risk of complications with traditional skin closure was 2.91 higher, compared to this new technique [ 181 ].…”

“…Bleeding, stump insufficiency, or intraabdominal abscess are rather rare complications ( 16 ). Surgical site infections (SSIs) appear in up to 9% of appendectomies and therefore present the most frequent complication after appendectomy ( 15 , 17 ).…”
