Summary

This trial will compare two methods of wound closure in obese women undergoing laparoscopic surgery to determine which is best.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery who are obese. It aims to compare the effectiveness of two different methods used for closing surgical incisions in this specific patient group.
What is being tested?
The study is testing two techniques for sealing wounds after laparoscopic surgery in obese patients: using adhesive glue and subcuticular (beneath the skin) stitching. The goal is to determine which method leads to better outcomes in these patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include infection, pain at the incision site, allergic reactions to materials used for closure, and differences in wound healing times or cosmetic outcomes.
