Triclosan-antibacterial Sutures Impact on the Incidence of Surgical Site Infection in Laparoscopic Surgeries.

Triclosan-antibacterial Sutures Impact on the Incidence of Surgical Site Infection in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, Laparoscopic Appendectomy or Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy; Multi-center, Double-blind, Randomized Study.

Comparing the incidence of PSI in cases using coated Polyglactin 910 suture with Triclosan and cases using Polyglactin 910 suture without Triclosan in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy or laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

In this prospective study, we will determine the incidence of PSI in Egypt as well as the impact of using coated polyglactin 910 sutures with Triclosan in lowering the incidence of PSI in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy or laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• age 18-75
• candidate for laparoscopic surgical intervention during the period of the study were included.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient has immunodeficiency disorder.
• Patient receiving anti-cancer / immunosuppressive therapy.
• Patients with established pre-operative infection whether community acquired or hospital acquired either at / remote from the operative site.
