Résumé
Barbed sutures (BS) have been increasingly used in the last two decades across surgical disciplines but little is known about how widespread their adoption has been in ventral hernia repair (VHR). The aim of this study was to document the use of barbed sutures in VHR in a multicenter database with associated clinical and patient-reported outcomes. Prospectively collected data from the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative database was retrospectively reviewed, including all adult patients who underwent VHR with fascial closure from 2020 to 2022. A univariate analysis compared patients with BS against non-barbed sutures (NBS) across the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative timeframes including patient-reported outcomes concerning quality of life and pain scores. A total of 4054 patients that underwent ventral hernia repair with BS were compared with 6473 patients with non-barbed sutures (NBS). Overall, BS were used in 86.2% of minimally invasive ventral hernia repairs and about 92.2% of robotic surgery compared to only 9.6% of open procedures. Notable differences existed in patient selection, including a higher BMI (32 vs 30.5; p < 0.001), more incisional hernias (63.3% vs 51.1%; p < 0.001), wider hernias (4 cm vs 3 cm; p < 0.001), and higher ASA score (p < 0.001) in patients with BS. Outcomes in patients with BS included a shorter length of stay (mean days; 1.4 vs 2.4; p < 0.001), less SSI (1.5% vs 3.6%; p < 0.001), while having similar SSO (7.6% vs 7.3%; p = 0.657), readmission (3.0 vs 3.2; p = 0.691), and reoperation (1.5% vs 1.45%; p = 0.855), at a longer operative time (p < 0.001). Hernia-specific questionnaires for quality of life (HerQLes) and pain in patients with BS had a worse preoperative score that was later matched and favorable compared to NBS (p = 0.048). PRO concerning hernia recurrence suggest around 10% at two years of follow-up (p = 0.532). Use of barbed sutures in VHR is widespread and highly related to MIS. Outcomes from this multicenter database cannot be reported as superior but suggest that barbed sutures do not have a negative impact on outcomes.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Barbed sutures (BS) have been increasingly used in the last two decades across surgical disciplines but little is known about how widespread their adoption has been in ventral hernia repair (VHR). The aim of this study was to document the use of barbed sutures in VHR in a multicenter database with associated clinical and patient-reported outcomes.
METHOD
METHODS
Prospectively collected data from the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative database was retrospectively reviewed, including all adult patients who underwent VHR with fascial closure from 2020 to 2022. A univariate analysis compared patients with BS against non-barbed sutures (NBS) across the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative timeframes including patient-reported outcomes concerning quality of life and pain scores.
RESULTS
RESULTS
A total of 4054 patients that underwent ventral hernia repair with BS were compared with 6473 patients with non-barbed sutures (NBS). Overall, BS were used in 86.2% of minimally invasive ventral hernia repairs and about 92.2% of robotic surgery compared to only 9.6% of open procedures. Notable differences existed in patient selection, including a higher BMI (32 vs 30.5; p < 0.001), more incisional hernias (63.3% vs 51.1%; p < 0.001), wider hernias (4 cm vs 3 cm; p < 0.001), and higher ASA score (p < 0.001) in patients with BS. Outcomes in patients with BS included a shorter length of stay (mean days; 1.4 vs 2.4; p < 0.001), less SSI (1.5% vs 3.6%; p < 0.001), while having similar SSO (7.6% vs 7.3%; p = 0.657), readmission (3.0 vs 3.2; p = 0.691), and reoperation (1.5% vs 1.45%; p = 0.855), at a longer operative time (p < 0.001). Hernia-specific questionnaires for quality of life (HerQLes) and pain in patients with BS had a worse preoperative score that was later matched and favorable compared to NBS (p = 0.048). PRO concerning hernia recurrence suggest around 10% at two years of follow-up (p = 0.532).
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Use of barbed sutures in VHR is widespread and highly related to MIS. Outcomes from this multicenter database cannot be reported as superior but suggest that barbed sutures do not have a negative impact on outcomes.
