We compared subcutaneous clamping and cauterization for hemostasis at laparotomy with Pfannenstiel incision with reference to surgical site infection, postoperative fever and time taken for incision in 214 consecutive hysterectomies where patients were alternately assigned to incisional hemostasis by clamping (n=107) or cauterization (n=107). The groups were similar in terms of age, gravidity, parity, body mass index, uterine size and mean hemoglobin drop. Rates of surgical site infection, postoperative fever and time from skin incision to peritoneal cavity entry were significantly higher in the group with cauterization (p<0.05). Clamping seems to be superior to cauterization for subcutaneous hemostasis in terms of minor savings on operative time and a lesser chance of surgical site infection and postoperative fever. |
