Purse-string skin closure versus linear skin closure in people undergoing stoma reversal

CONCLUSIONS: PSSC compared with LSC likely reduces the risk of SSI in people undergoing reversal of stoma. People who have PSSC may be more satisfied with the result compared with people who have LSC. There may be little or no difference between the skin closure techniques in terms of incisional hernia and operative time, though the evidence for these two outcomes is very uncertain.PMID:38470607 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD014763.pub2
