Comparison of the results of two skin closer methods with subcuticular versus staples methods in obese patients who are candidates for hysterectomy due to benign disease
Design
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.

Randomization description
Patients will be divided randomly using the randomization method of the sealed envelope into two groups in terms of skin closure, including group A (subcuticular suture) and B (staples).A number of 80 envelopes are prepared and written A is placed in 40 envelopes and B is written in 40 envelopes, and then the envelopes will be sealed. When the patients enter the operating room, the delivery nurse will select the patient from among the sealed envelopes and open it and note the group of patients on the top of the clinical file. Then the surgeon will apply the corresponding suture based on the desired grouping.
