“…With regard to suture tightness, Ehrhart et al [16] evaluated the pressure at which suture dehiscence occurred after the closure of gastric, colic, or intestinal defects, finding no significant differences between monofilament and barbed sutures.…”

Performing intracorporeal anastomoses and sutures is possibly the technique that requires the greater skill in laparoscopy. The emergence of new barbed sutures seems to facilitate the practice, with bariatric surgery (mainly in mixed and malabsorptive techniques) being one of the specialties that can most benefit from them. This review aims to evaluate barbed sutures' use and safety in bariatric surgery. Barbed sutures might facilitate the practice by improving some aspects of surgery such as reproducibility and operative time, although further research is needed.

“…Even in the hands of skilled surgeons, failure rates of knots tied laparoscopically approach 50%, due to slipping or unraveling . Several studies have shown that laparoscopic suturing is accomplished more quickly with barbed sutures …”

“…Barbed suture is also well established in laparoscopic and robotic surgery in man, for fast and secure apposition of a variety of tissues . One of these suture devices includes an end loop through which the suture needle is passed after the first tissue bite, eliminating the need for knot tying (Figure ) . Barbs are cut into the suture strand to allow unidirectional movement of the suture material through tissue during suturing and prevent backwards slippage, thereby evenly distributing tension along an incisional line .…”

Objective To determine which of 2 suture materials would be superior in terms of closure time and leakage pressure in open single‐layer cystotomy closure. Study design Experimental study. Animals Twenty‐four freshly harvested porcine urinary bladders. Methods A cystotomy was performed and the incision closed with a single layer simple continuous suture pattern with barbed (n = 12) or smooth (n = 12) suture. Time required for closure was measured. Each bladder was connected to a system for monitoring intraluminal pressure while inflated with saline until leakage occurred. Intraluminal pressure at time of initial leakage and leakage site were recorded. Two‐sample t tests were used to compare maximum leakage pressure and closure time between the 2 groups. P < .05 was considered significant. Results All bladders were sutured successfully with no difference in mean closure time (barbed suture 296 ± 46 seconds; smooth suture 293 ± 26 seconds) (P = .821). There was no difference in mean leakage pressure of porcine urinary bladder incisions closed in a single layer with barbed suture (28.8 ± 10.4 mm Hg) compared with smooth suture (30.6 ± 8.8 mm Hg) (P = .642). Conclusions Barbed suture provides comparable cystotomy repair to smooth suture, and no benefit to its use was identified in an open procedure. Barbed suture closure should be evaluated for adequate tensile strength in the presence of urine, satisfactory in vivo healing of cystotomies, and lack of long‐term urolith formation in dogs and cats.
