Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the rate of incisional hernia with PD Synth (Healthium) and PDS (Ethicon, J & J) polydioxanone sutures, at 6 months and 12 months post-abdominal fascial closureTimepoint: 6 months and 12 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To assess the surgical site infection, fascial dehiscence and suture sinus 2. To assess overall intraoperative handling between two sutures 3. To evaluate tissue reaction, material problems and other adverse events among the two groups 4. To evaluate postoperative discomfort, pain and overall patient satisfaction score Timepoint: Day 3 Day 7 Month 1 Month 3 Month 6 Month 12
