Comparative study of the healing process of the aponeurosis of the anterior abdominal wall of rats after wound closure using 3-0 nylon suture and N-butil-2-cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive

Abstract

Upon morphological evaluation, the two types of material analyzed in this study (3-0 nylon suture and N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, a tissue adhesive) were not significantly different with regard to the healing process of the aponeurosis of the anterior abdominal wall of rats. Wound closure using the tissue adhesive was faster. Higher tensile strength was observed in the tissue adhesive group 14 days after the first surgery.

Comparative study of tissue reactivity to n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and nylon monofilament thread on pericranium-cutaneous flaps in rats

“…Batista et al 15 compared sutures in the abdominal wall of rats that underwent operations using 3-0 nylon monofilament thread and adhesive n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. The suture time was faster in the adhesive group, and although there was one case of wound dehiscence and abscess formation, this group showed higher tensile strength than did the suture group on postoperative day 14.…”

“…Traction and fixation of soft tissue flaps in facial plastic surgery is performed by means of soft tissue fixation methods, the most common being sutures, screws (metallic or absorbable), and surgical adhesives [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] .…”

“…Nylon monofilament threads are traditionally used as surgical sutures in soft tissues and are often compared with surgical adhesives [13][14][15] .…”
