Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
• Evaluate the safety profile:
The trial also aims to assess the safety profile of absorbable antimicrobial sutures compared to standard absorbable sutures. This includes monitoring for any adverse events or complications associated with the use of antimicrobial sutures, such as allergic reactions or tissue irritation.
• Assess wound healing:
The study may include an evaluation of wound healing outcomes between the two suture groups. This could involve monitoring wound closure, presence of wound complications (e.g., dehiscence), and overall wound healing progression.
• Compare surgical outcomes:
The trial will investigate other surgical outcomes related to the use of absorbable antimicrobial sutures, such as surgical site complications (e.g., seroma formation, hematoma), length of hospital stay, or the need for additional surgical interventions.

Brief Summary  
•Surgical site infections (SSI) are a risk inherent to surgical procedures and a frequent complication,  notably after digestive surgery. SSI are associated with severe morbidity and mortality, especially  in high-risk patient populations.
•
•The  cornerstones for reducing the risk of SSI include exquisite surgical technique, timely and  appropriate antimicrobial prophylaxis [5], effective and persistent skin antisepsis, and identification  of adjunctive strategies for reducing wound contamination [6] and promoting wound healing.
•
•Various bacteria may contaminate not only the tissue in a surgical wound but also the actual suture  material.
•
•If the surgical suture is implicated as the cause of a wound infection, then an antimicrobial  coating should nearly eliminate the possibility of the suture material becoming a vector of  infection.
