[The use of an automatic stapler in abdominal hysterectomies. Our experience].
One hundred and four patients were randomized into two groups: group 1 (n = 56) included patients in whom used absorbable staples in vaginal cuff closure; group 2 (n = 48) included patients with classical abdominal hysterectomy. Operating time, facility and outcome 6 months later, were evaluated. Greater costs of absorbable staples compared with sutures can readily be counterbalanced by saving allowed by shorter operating time, no peritoneal contamination, minimal tissue trauma and better cuff healing.
