The Use of Self Retaining Sutures in Open and Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy

NCT01413607 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 65

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this study is to assess whether using a different type of suture (barbed sutures) during partial nephrectomy results in fewer postoperative complications than with traditional sutures (non-barbed). The most common complications are urine leakage and bleeding. The investigators believe the barbed suture is less technically difficult to use and will allow the surgeon to better repair the hole left in the kidney after the tumor is removed.

Conditions

  • Kidney Neoplasms

Interventions

DEVICE

Quill knotless tissue-closure device

The Quill knotless tissue-closure device is a barbed suture that allows the surgeon to keep tissue approximation without maintaining tension on the suture.

DEVICE

2-0 absorbable vicryl suture

In the control group a traditional 2-0 absorbable vicryl suture (Ethicon) will be used to close the central defect in the kidney.
