Skin Closure in Laparoscopic Living Donor Nephrectomy: Modern Tissue Adhesive versus Conventional Intracutaneous Suture—A Randomized Study

Table 3

Postoperative complications and stay in hospital, counted from day of operation.

Complications and hospitalization	Tissue adhesive; 𝑛=32	Suture; 𝑛=32
Surgical complications	Wound rupture (1)^a	Dimpled wounds/cosmetic^d
	Wound inf. (1)^b
	Hematoma (1)^c
Reinterventions	Resuture (1)^a	Cosmetic correction^d
	VAC (1)^b
	Evacuation/resuture (1)^c
Infection	Wound: 1^b (1.6%)	—
Other complications	—	Pneumonia (1)
Hospitalization; (days; mean (range))	6.2 (4–7)	5.9 (4–8)

aRupture of all layers, including fascia.
bNo positive bacterial culture; atheroma excised at donation probably responsible.
cSubcutaneous hematoma, causing evacuation and resuture.
dDimpled trocar wounds, causing cosmetic corrections.
