Triclosan-coated sutures reduce the incidence of wound infections and the costs after colorectal surgery: A randomized controlled trial

Impact of perioperative probiotic treatment for surgical site infections in patients with colorectal cancer

“…The development of various perioperative management techniques has contributed to a decrease in the incidence of SSIs; however, the rate of superficial incisional SSI incidence in elective CRC surgery remains between 2.5 and 20.5% (10). In the present study, the rate of SSI was 17.3%.…”

Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effect of Triclosan-Coated Sutures on Surgical Site Infection after Colorectal Surgery

“…Our data are in contrast to those reported in a single-center RCT conducted in Japan [19]. The authors found that suturing the abdominal wall with triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 was significantly effective in reducing the incidence of incision infection in patients undergoing colorectal resection.…”

“…A Hungarian multicenter trial [17] failed to demonstrate any advantage of impregnated sutures on the overall rate of SSIs. Two recent single-center studies [18,19] showed a significant reduction of incision infection in patients undergoing open colorectal resection treated with triclosan-coated sutures. We sought to evaluate the effect of a triclosan-coated sutures on the incidence of SSIs after elective colorectal operations.…”

Association between Triclosan-Coated Sutures for Abdominal Wall Closure and Incisional Surgical Site Infection after Open Surgery in Patients Presenting with Fecal Peritonitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

“…Although the triclosan-coated polyglactin suture is more expensive, it may be more cost-effective for health care resources in the long term. Nakamura et al [18] performed an economic analysis of the use of triclosan-coated sutures in elective colorectal surgery. They reported that the additional Settings and locations where the data were collected 4 Interventions 5…”
