Barbed Suture Versus Non-Barbed Suture for Posterior Colporrhaphy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 2-0 dioxanone, glycolide and trimethylene carbonate and 2-0 polydioxanone for Rectocele. Completed, enrolled 72 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to compare barbed suture versus non-barbed suture at the time of posterior repair on postoperative pain scores as measured by a visual analog scale (VAS) at 6 weeks. Study participants are randomized to use of barbed suture (2-0 V-Loc 90TM, Medtronic) or non-barbed suture (2-0 Polydioxanone, PDS® EthiconTM) in a standardized technique for posterior colporrhaphy at the time of posterior repair.
