This study provides insights on wound closure techniques and postoperative SSI made available through granular, operative data that are not found in large database analyses. Surgical wound closure technique was not associated with postoperative SSI after LEB surgery, even among patients at increased risk of infection. These data support individualization of wound closure techniques among patients undergoing LEB surgery.
