Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

A surgery made by an external incision requires to stitch the subcutaneous plans, usually performed using absorbable synthetic sutures hold on wire needle. This national, prospective, multicentric, and randomized study is devoted to estimate a technique of suture of the subcutaneous plans based on an implantable medical device delivering automatically absorbable staples. This particularly innovative technique lets to expect a tolerance and an efficiency at least equivalent to the reference technique (main objective). Moreover, this technique allows to anticipate a reduction of the duration of surgical procedure and anesthetic time while limiting the risks of blood wounds of the medical staff.The medical economic part of this study will check, from the point of view of the health care hospital, wether the technique is likely to reduce the costs and time consuming theater room procedures.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Resorbable staples

Suture using Insorb Resorbable staples

Device: Insorb resorbable staples
Subcutanous suture using resorbable staples
Other Names:
  • Insorb staples
  • Active Comparator: Resorbable wires

    Suture using Monocryl resorbable wire

    Device: Monocryl resorbable wire
    Subcutanous suture using resorbable wire
    Other Names:
  • Monocryl Wire
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall PSAS score measured 3 months after the surgery [3 months after the surgery]

      Overall PSAS score measured 3 months after the surgery(PSAS : "Patient Scar Assessment Scale")

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) or average cost of suture according to the procedure (wire or staple) [Day 0 (Procedure)]

    2. Presence of scarring complications at day 8 (infection, dehiscence) [Day 8]

    3. Measurement of suture, surgical and anesthetic times [Day 0 (procedure)]

    4. Overall score of the PSAS scale [Months 3, 12 and 18]

      The tolerance will be assessed by the overall score of the PSAS scale (Patient Scar Assessment Scale)

    5. Overall score of the OSAS scale [Months 3, 12 and 18]

      The scar quality will be assessed by the overall score of the OSAS scale (Observer Scar Assessment Scale)

    6. Aesthetic quality of the scar [Month 18]

      The aesthetic quality of the scar will be assessed by the patient and a physician (not the surgeon) by a score range from 0 to 10

    7. Quantification of accidental exposure to blood [During the surgery]
