Title: observation of application effect of modified buried vertical mattress suture in preventing poor healing of incision in laparotomy in patients with gynecological malignant tumor.The aim of this study was to investigate the application value of subcutaneous wedge-shaped tension reduction suture (also known as modified buried vertical mattress suture, mbvms) in preventing poor healing of incisions in laparotomy in patients with gynecological malignant tumors.A total of 116 patients who underwent laparotomy for gynecologic malignancy from january 2020 to october 2021 were included in the study.The patients were divided into mbvms or heart-shaped suture group (n=62; mean age of 54.48 ± 10.82 years; mean bmi of 22.26 ± 1.92 kg/m2) and a control group (n=54; mean age of 52.76 ± 7.23 years; mean bmi of 22.34 ± 1.83 kg/m2) according to whether abdominal wound was closed with the mbvms.1-0 absorbable suture (ethicon) was used for peritoneal suture, 2-0 absorbable suture (ethicon) was used for the heart-shaped stitching or intermittent stitching of subcutaneous fat layers, and 3-0 absorbable suture (ethicon) was used for the skin layer.The follow-up was performed every 1 to 2 weeks until 1 month after surgery.Reported complications include incision infection (n=4), incision dehiscence (n=2), fat liquefaction (n=6), and secondary stitching (n=2).In conclusion, the mbvms can effectively reduce the occurrence of poor healing of incision in laparotomy for gynecological malignant tumors.
