Background. The obstetrics and gynecology literature has expanded in recent years to include clinical trials assessing the use of barbed sutures.

Although the use of barbed sutures has been shown to ease the process of laparoscopic suturing considerably, concerns have been raised regarding a potentially increased risk of adhesions or inflammation as a result of their use.
