Diathermy versus scalpel in midline abdominal incision: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Introduction
Our study aimed to compare the midline abdominal incision with scalpel and diathermy.
Methods
PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane were searched through January 2024 following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO, ID: CRD42024516771), and only randomized controlled trials were included. Heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q test and the I2 heterogeneity index. Statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4 software.
Results
Six randomized controlled trials were included, from which 469 patients (51.5%) received diathermy incision and 442 patients (48.5%) underwent the scalpel technique. Patients treated with the electrocautery approach had less incision blood loss (MD −17.57 mL; P < .01). No statistically significant differences were found between groups regarding wound infection incidence, incision time, incision area or first-day postoperative pain.
Conclusion
Diathermy use in midline abdominal incision may be advocated as it demonstrated a significant reduction in incision-related blood loss, with no differences in wound infection or early postoperative pain incidences compared to the scalpel.
