Monocryl® vs. Monocryl Plus® in Pediatric Reconstructive Urological Surgery: Outcomes of 653 Patients over 18 Years at a Single Centre
In pediatric urological reconstructive surgery, Monocryl Plus sutures were associated with significantly fewer SSIs and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional Monocryl. Although the overall complication, reoperation, and readmission rates showed nonsignificant trends favouring Monocryl Plus, the most notable benefits appeared in hypospadias repair, suggesting that suture choice might influence outcomes in this subgroup.
