The Use of Self-Retaining Barbed Suture for Inner Layer Renorrhaphy Significantly Reduces Warm Ischemia Time in Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy: Outcomes of a Matched-Pair Analysis

Abstract

The SRBS significantly reduced inner layer renorrhaphy time and WIT during LPN and may enable urologists to perform LPN in more challenging and larger tumors, in comparison with conventional polyglactin suture.
