Background Triclosan-coated sutures have been shown to reduce surgical-site infection
(SSI) in emergent operation for fecal peritonitis. Barbed sutures provoke a homogeneous
distribution of tension throughout the suture, implying better blood supply to the wound
edges and healing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect, on SSI and evisceration,
of using triclosan-coated and barbed sutures for fascial closure in patients undergoing
emergent surgery. Study design A prospective, randomized clinical trial was performed …
