Impact of small-bite (5 mm) fascial closure on the incidence of incisional hernia following open colorectal cancer surgery: randomized clinical trial

Ozcan C, Colak T, Turkmenoglu O, Berkesoglu M, Ertas E.

Br J Surg 2024; 111: znae189.

Use of the small bite technique reduced the rate of surgical site infection (18 versus 31 per cent, P=0.03) and the incisional hernia rate after two years (9 versus 31 per cent, P<0.001).

Comment: Small bites strongly recommended.
