Meta Analysis[Meta-analysis of suture techniques for midline abdominal incisions].
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of suture techniques for midline abdominal incisions with systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ To reduce the incidence of incisional hernia without increasing wound infection frequency, the ideal suture technique is mass closure using a continuous suture, with an adequate suture length/wound length ratio no less than 4:1, the suture materials should be slowly absorbable.
