Barbed Versus PGA Sutures in Minimally Invasive Dismembered Pyeloplasty

Egypt40 participantsStarted 2023-11-22

Plain-language summary

The main goals of this trial is to study the feasibility and safety of using barbed sutures compared to the conventional PGA (Polyglactin) sutures in minimally invasive dismembered pyeloplasty. The main questions in using barbed sutures would be: 1. Is it safe with similar post-operative outcomes? 2. Does it have any significant complications? 3. Is it easier to handle intra-operatively?
