Abstract

Man has always looked for ways to bandage wounds in order to speed up the healing process. Surgeons employed a variety of tools in the past, but the key to a successful wound healing is careful tissue dissection, which is followed by suture material selection, wound closure techniques postoperative problems. In order to provide security against the potential leakage of blood or intestinal contents during anastomosis, staplers were first designed to solve the perceived patency issue. It is well acknowledged that skin wound closure may be accomplished with both sutures and staples. Eighty patients were divided into two groups, group A consisting of traditional sutures and group B consisting of staples, each comprising forty cases. Prolene 2‐0 cutting body (Lotus) was used in group A to close wounds with interrupted sutures. In group B, Covidien staplers were used for wound closure. Compared to sutures, skin approximation was completed far more quickly using staples. Compared to the skin suture group, post‐operative SSI was more frequent. When compared to the traditional suturing group, the staple group's scar's cosmetic appearance was judged to be better. The study's findings suggest that stapler skin closure may be preferable to traditional skin sutures.
