ObjectiveTo investigate the necessity of subcutaneous suture for gynecologic abdominal incision, and to prove the clinical value of suture without subcutaneous ligature. MethodsWe retrospectively studied the clinical data of 210 cases of gynecologic abdominal incision treated between May 2010 and May 2013. A total of 111 cases had the suture without subcutaneous ligature and 99 received the traditional suture. ResultsOne patient (0.90%) had fat liquefaction in the group of suture without subcutaneous ligature, while 7 (7.07%) of fat liquefaction were found in the traditional suture group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=3.883, P=0.049). No hospital infection occurred. The healing period averaged (15.1±4.7) days, and the patients were followed up for 2 months without any complication of abdominal incision in all the patients. ConclusionSuture without subcutaneous ligature is simple and easy to practice, with precise effect, which deserves clinical application.
