- Abstract
Several methods for closure of trocar wounds are known in laparoscopic surgery. The choice of technique (mostly transcutaneous or subcuticular suture or adhesive papertape) is often based on the surgeon's personal experience. Thus, the objective of this trial was to assess the impact of these closure methods on potential complications of wound healing, cosmetic outcome, and patient satisfaction.
