Correction to: Trocar site closure with a novel anchor-based (neoClose®) system versus standard suture closure: a prospective randomized controlled trial

Abstract

After careful review, the authors have noticed the following mistakes in the article entitled “Trocar site closure with a novel anchor based (neoClose®) system versus standard suture closure: A prospective randomized controlled trial”: - Correct closure times are 19.9 seconds (SD 9.9) for the study group and 31.0 seconds (SD 20.1) for the control group (initial incorrect values were 20.2 seconds (SD 10.1) and 30 seconds (SD 19.1) respectively). The new correct P-value is <0.0001 (initial incorrect P-value was 0.0002). - Correct maximal needle depth values are 3.2 cm (SD 0.93) for the study group and 4.9 cm (SD 1.97) for the control group (initial incorrect values were 3.3 cm (SD 0.9) and 5.2 cm (SD 1.6) respectively). P-value remains unchanged at <0.0001. For these two outcomes, some values of control group patients were mistakenly included in the study group. These errors only marginally affected the mean and standard deviation values. Statistical significance of the results was not affected and the conclusions of the study remain unchanged.
