Clinical trial without control group, with parallel groups, unblinded, randomized, phase 3 on 80 patients. The sealed envelope randomization method will be used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This study will be conducted in the field of investigating the method of hysterectomy surgical site suture without malignancy in obese patients referred to Al-Zahra Hospital in Tabriz.Patients will be divided into two groups based on the method of skin closure.Demographic information of patients including age, BMI, height, weight, smoking, indication of hysterectomy will be recorded.Surgical time information including the duration of skin closure, the amount of bleeding during surgery, the duration of surgery, the length of incision, the depth of incision, and the need for blood transfusion will be recorded.
