Detailed Description
An abdominal elastic binder (girdles, trusses, abdominal belts, longuette, etc.) is a wide belt that surrounds the abdomen and supports the incision . Abdominal binder is routinely used after open surgery and Cesarean section, because it has been reported, according to a recent systematic review, to facilitate enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) such as pain relief, reduced risk of seroma formation, improved respiratory function, and assisted physical function using additional support to the lower abdominal musculature.
However, the routine use of abdominal binder after laparoscopy has been challenged due to a potential risk of postoperative pulmonary complications and deep venous thrombosis due to increased intra-abdominal pressure. Also, abdominal binders after laparoscopy have been criticized for being uncomfortable and hot to wear and for impinging the breast line in females. Therefore, some laparoscopists prefer the use of abdominal binder in patients undergoing laparoscopy, while other laparoscopists did not. However, there have been no studies exploring the efficacy of incision support using an elastic abdominal binder after laparoscopy to date. The investigators performed therefore a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of post-laparoscopic abdominal binder use on ERAS in patients with gynecologic disease.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Experimental group
In subjects allocated to the abdominal binder group, the abdomen binder with a standard height of 22 cm (Sejung Korea, Seoul, Republic of Korea) was applied before leaving the operating room.
The binder was placed on the abdomen across the laparoscopic incision, with the upper border not higher than the lower margin of the rib cage, ensuring minimal restriction of lateral costal expansion and diaphragmatic excursion.
Subjects were carefully instructed to use the abdominal binder during at least the first 2 consecutive days and night, and to reposition the abdominal binder correctly when needed.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
postoperative pain
Time Frame: at 48 hours after surgery
|
Subjects rated postoperative pain intensity using a visual analog scale (VAS) at 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery.
The scale was presented as a 10-cm line with verbal descriptors ranging from "no pain" to "worst imaginable pain".

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
limitation of walking ability
Time Frame: at 48 hours after surgery
|
Subjects were instructed to place a mark on a 10-cm line corresponding to the percentage of full-walking ability, with 0 cm representing no activity limitation and 10 cm being the maximal activity limitation.
|
at 48 hours after surgery
|
Incentive spirometry performance
Time Frame: at 24 hours after surgery
|
Volumetric incentive spirometry (Hyupsung Medical Co., Ltd, Yangju, Republic of Korea) was performed in all subjects at 24 hours after surgery, because inspiratory spirometry can be used as a simple mean to follow lung volume, especially vital capacity and inspiratory reserve volume, in postoperative period in spontaneous breathing patients.
