Abstract
The
introduction of knotless barbed suture into the surgical market has
decreased the challenges of laparoscopic suturing. Since its
introduction, barbed suture has gained popularity in the field of
minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and is now commonly used to close
the vaginal cuff in total laparoscopic hysterectomy, to re-approximate
the myometrium after laparoscopic myomectomy, and to shorten the
procedure time during a laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. Barbed sutures
facilitate rapid and consistent wound closure, allowing for equal
distribution of tissue tension across the suture line, and thereby
providing a more secure wound closure. The most commonly encountered
complication after the use of barbed sutures is postoperative bowel
obstruction. Proposed methods to decrease the likelihood of this
complication include ensuring that the ends of the barbed suture are
either buried, over-sewn, or cut flush with the tissue.
