Novosyn® CHD vs Polyglactin 910 Suture to Close Wounds After Emergency or Elective Laparotomy or Laparoscopic Surgery

The aim of the study is to elucidate, if the colonization of bacteria is lower on the Novosyn® CHD suture compared to uncoated Polyglactin 910 suture, which will be assessed by the incidence of surgical site infections (SSI: A1 and A2). The results of this registry will generate further clinical evidence for the use and the benefit of a Chlorhexidine coated suture used to close the wound after an emergency or elective laparoscopic or laparotomy surgery. The benefit for individual patients lies in the early diagnosis of complications and in the optimized postoperative controls of a clinical study.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients undergoing an emergency or elective laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery. * Written informed consent * Age≥ 18 years * Not incapacitated patient Exclusion Criteria: * No exclusion criteria except patients with allergy or hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine
