Surgical and Clinical Outcomes Associated With the Use of Barbed Sutures and Self-Adhering Mesh System and Polymeric Glue for Wound Closure in Multilevel or Revision Spinal Surgery: A Matched Cohort Comparative Study With Conventional Wound Closure Procedure

Objective Multilevel or revisional posterior spinal surgery is prone to infection and delayed wound healing, related with the wound closure time and suture strength. Knotless barbed suture is an innovative self-locking, multianchor suture. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the k...

description Objective Multilevel or revisional posterior spinal surgery is prone to infection and delayed wound healing, related with the wound closure time and suture strength. Knotless barbed suture is an innovative self-locking, multianchor suture. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the knotless barbed suture and self-adhering mesh with polymeric glue in multilevel or revisional posterior spinal surgery. Methods This is a single-center retrospective matched cohort study. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the wound closure method: barbed suture group with novel wound closure, and conventional suture group with conventional wound closure, 1:1 matched by the level of surgery and sex, resulting in 120 subjects each. Total operation time and wound closure time were measured intraoperatively, and perioperative clinical outcome parameters including postoperative wound complication were investigated for the first 3 months postoperatively. The distribution of continuous variables was assessed for normality by Shapiro-Wilk test, then parametric or nonparametric tests were applied accordingly (paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test). Results Wound closure time was significantly shorter with the novel barbed suture than with conventional suture in all subgroups divided by the level of spinal surgery: 3–5, 6–9, ≥ 10 levels (p < 0.001). The 2 groups showed no significant differences in surgical complications (p = 1.000). Specially, total operation time and wound-closing time were significantly shorter in revisional subgroup. Conclusion Absorbable knotless barbed suture and self-adhering mesh with polymeric glue can shorten spinal wound closure time with noninferiority in complications for multilevel or revisional spinal surgery.
