    Barbed sutures, such as STRATAFIX KTCD, may enhance tissue approximation without the need for surgical knots in various surgical procedures.

  • 2

    The study aimed to evaluate the use of KTCD in hand-sewn gastrojejunostomy during robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

  • 3

    Data for the study were sourced from the Premier Healthcare Database, covering robotic-assisted RYGB procedures from 2020 to 2023.

  • 4

    Patient demographics and clinical characteristics, including comorbidities, were assessed to compare outcomes between KTCD and non-KTCD groups.

  • 5

    Clinical outcomes measured included complications such as anastomotic leak, bleeding, and infection within 90 days post-surgery.
