Abstract: Synthesis of large wounds of the body wall with rubber elastic bandAndy PETROIANU DESCRITORES -Ferida. Borracha. Terapêutica.RESUMO -Racional -As grandes feridas da parede corpórea, decorrentes de traumas extensos, retirada de tumores ou laparostomias prolongadas constituem um desafio cirúrgico de difícil solução. Objetivo -Mostrar a eficácia da aproximação das bordas de grandes feridas, utilizando tira elástica de borracha. Método -Uma ou duas tiras elásticas de borracha (gominha circular) foram suturadas sob… Show more

“…According to Petroianu (2010), performing new stitches or changing the rubber band may be necessary. This procedure aims to keep the tension when tissue approximation is not yet sufficient, as use of the elastic suture assists skin approximation through constant application of tension.…”

“…The use of an elastic suture does not require any extra wound care besides routine procedures such as cleaning and adequate protection (PETROIANU, 2010). However, one possible disadvantage of this technique is related to management of the rubber bands, which can slacken as the wound closure evolves, or eventually break up.…”

“…The biggest problem of this technique was the need of daily returns to the operating room, which made treatment difficult. Since then, the elastic band has been used in intervention of various types of wounds, including compartmental syndrome 10,11 , extensive fasciotomy wounds [12][13][14][15] , open fractures 16 , injuries from burns 17 and large wounds of the body wall 15,18 .…”

“…The use of elastic bands to traction the wound edges is an effective resource in the treatment of large wounds of the body wall [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . This closure occurs by skin stretching, using the viscoelastic properties of the skin 12,13,16,18 . The biomechanical properties of the skin, resulting from the interaction between extracellular matrix components, allow it to be extended.…”
