Short Stitch Versus Traditional Suture for the Prevention of Incisional Hernia After Open Hepatectomy
Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
This clinical trial compares two different kinds of surgical closing techniques, short stitch suture or traditional suture, in patients who are having liver tumor surgery. This study may help researchers learn if one technique can lower the chances of developing a hole in the wall of the abdomen (an abdominal hernia) at the incision site better than the other.
