Table 2 Comparison between the traditional technique group and the PAN suture group

From: Needle Adjustment Free (NAF) running suture technique (PAN suture) in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy

Parameters Traditional technique group (n = 33) PAN suture group (n = 11) P value
ST (min) 30.37 ± 16.39 13.68 ± 3.33 0.0011
WIT (min) 28.73 ± 7.89 20.64 ± 5.05 0.0028
BL entirely (mL) 141.56 ± 155.23 43.18 ± 31.17 0.0017
BL in no massive bleeding patients (3 excluded from traditional technique group) 101.03 ± 68.73 43.18 ± 31.17 0.0008
Open conversion (n, %) 0 (0.00) 0 (0.00)
Post-op discharge time (d) 6.69 ± 1.83 6.27 ± 1.13 0.2645
Post-op bleeding (n, %) 0 (0.00) 0 (0.00)
