Randomized Controlled TrialDouble edge closure: a novel technique for reducing post-thoracotomy pain. A randomized control study.
Thoracic surgeons being doctors, spend much effort not only to manage pathologies but also to make their procedures painless. Many surgical manoeuvres have been evolved to reduce post-thoracotomy pain with its associated morbidities. This trial aimed to study the impact of double edge closure technique on post-thoracotomy pain. ⋯ Double edge technique for thoracotomy closure is easy, rapid, safe and effective in decreasing post-thoracotomy pain with subsequent earlier ambulation and lesser use of analgesics.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyPain Associated With Cesarean Delivery Skin Closure: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To assess pain perception and pain medication use between women who underwent suture and those who underwent stapling for skin closure after cesarean delivery. ⋯ I.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Synthetic polyglycomer short-term absorbable sutures vs. polydioxanone long-term absorbable sutures for preventing incisional hernia and wound dehiscence after abdominal wall closure: a comparative randomized study of patients treated for gastric or colon cancer.
To compare the results of abdominal wall closure using interrupted synthetic short-term vs. long-term tensile strength-retaining absorbable sutures. ⋯ Outcomes were favorable in both groups and not inferior to reported outcomes of larger-scale studies. Verification of the equivalence between the two types of suture material necessitates larger-scale studies that adopt the same suture methods.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyIs There an Advantage to Knotless Barbed Suture in TKA Wound Closure? A Randomized Trial in Simultaneous Bilateral TKAs.
Effective wound closure is critical to minimizing wound complications and withstanding the forces associated with early knee motion after TKA. Barbed sutures allow for knotless fixation, have been used successfully in other specialties, and may provide for more even distribution of tension along the length of the incision; however, data regarding unidirectional barbed sutures from randomized trials have raised important concerns about their use. Bidirectional barbed sutures offer a potential alternative, but have not been studied extensively in orthopaedic surgery. ⋯ Level I, therapeutic study.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Laparoscopic repair of very large hiatus hernia with sutures versus absorbable mesh versus nonabsorbable mesh: a randomized controlled trial.
Determine whether absorbable or nonabsorbable mesh in repair of large hiatus hernias reduces the risk of recurrence, compared with suture repair. ⋯ No significant differences were seen for recurrent hiatus hernia, and the clinical differences were unlikely to be clinically significant. Overall outcomes after sutured repair were similar to mesh repair.
