Comparing two stitch types for groin incisions in vascular surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if one type of stitch (PDS) is better than another (Vicryl) for closing groin incisions after planned vascular surgery. If you're having elective groin surgery, you may be able to help doctors learn which stitch leads to fewer problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is studying whether one type of stitch (polyglactin) works better than another (polypropylene) for closing the belly wall after abdominal surgery. It may help reduce the risk of hernias or other complications.
This trial compares two different ways of making an incision (cut) in the groin during blood vessel surgery. It aims to find out if one direction leads to better healing or fewer complications.
This trial compares two different types of stitches used to close the belly after emergency abdominal surgery. The goal is to find out which stitch leads to better healing and fewer complications.
This trial tests a new suture-based closure device that seals the puncture site in your groin after a heart catheterization or similar procedure. The device aims to reduce bleeding and complications compared to standard closure methods.
This study compares two types of stitches that dissolve at different speeds in people having skin surgery with larger cuts. Researchers want to see which type heals better and causes less tension on the wound.
