  • Title: The haemostatic effect of purse-string suture in transvesical prostatectomy: a controlled clinical trial.
    Author: Overgaard Nielsen H, Højsgaard A, Larsen A, Gravgaard E, Holm-Møller S.
    Journal: Urol Int; 1979; 34(2):147-52. PubMed ID: 87050.
    Abstract:
    In a series of 64 consecutive cases of transvesical prostatectomies it is shown that the use of a purse-string suture at the bladder neck significantly reduces the postoperative blood loss. A follow-up 3 months after operation has shown that the suture did not increase the number of either bladder neck stenoses, urinary incontinences, urinary infections or secondary lithiases.
