Randomized Trial Evaluating Effectiveness of neoClose Abdominal Closure Device Versus Carter-Thomason Needle Passer
The purpose of this study is to compare the neoClose abdominal closure to the standard
Carter-Thomason closure in a bariatric surgery gastric bypass population.
Carter-Thomason closure in a bariatric surgery gastric bypass population.
Both the neoClose abdominal closure to the standard Carter-Thomason closurewill be used to
close 12 mm camera and stapler port sites upon completion of a robotic assisted laparoscopic
gastric bypass. The procedure requires a 12 mm port be placed in the midline approximately 3
cm cephalad to the umbilicus and a second in the right mid abdomen. Port sites will be closed
as defined as the inability to palpate a fascial defect and the incision being air tight upon
carbon dioxide insufflation.
