Table 2 Comparison of the first suture duration, total suture time, supplementary suture requirement, and bleeding on probing between groups
Variables | Simple (n = 16) | Cross-mattress (n = 16) | P-value* |
|---|---|---|---|
Duration of the first suture (sec), mean ± SD | 40.45 ± 3.72 | 50.17 ± 2.25 | < 0.001 |
Total suture time (sec), mean ± SD | 102.06 ± 41.31 | 107.44 ± 21.75 | 0.648 |
Supplementary suture requirement, N (%) | 8 (50.0) | 1 (6.3) | 0.006† |
Bleeding on probing, N (%) | 8 (50.0) | 6 (37.5) | 0.476† |
