    Abstract

    Within the realm of surgical decision-making, wound closure material is frequently overlooked. Recent findings from a meta-analysis indicate a heightened risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) associated with the use of staples for wound closure. However, the impact of closure material on non-infectious wound complications remains less defined. In this study, we aim to compare sutures and staples with regard to the clinical outcome of wound closure using the Hollander wound evaluation score (HWES) and Visual analogue patient satisfaction scale (VAS).
