Air arthrography to confirm intra-articular positioning for hip injections
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: DISCUSSION In this method, the end result of the transversely (rather than longitudinally) configured coaptation of the skin edges tends to achieve the original anatomical elevation of the umbilical mound. Moreover, the firmly suture approximated wound edges are likely to decrease the rate of wound dehiscence. Although supplementary studies are needed, we encountered no wound complications in 1,853 patients over the last 3 years. Thus, it may be proposed as a standard technique for umbilical port closure.
