“…They found no macroscopic and microscopic differences after 14th and 28th days. These results were similar to another study that evaluated the same threads in intradermal suture of dogs; however, the differences were only visible during the first seven days after surgery 13 . Trautwein 28 compared prolene, polyglecrapone 25 and monosyn suturing the jejunum of dogs at 3rd, 7th and 14th post-operatively, concluding that all sutures had exudative reactions in serous and below it, with mild to moderate presence of fibrin, neovascularization and granulocytes in the anastomosis.…”

“…Therefore, the poliglecaprone 25 has several advantages, including the excellent handling property, the minimum resistance of the suture passing through the tissue, and higher tensile properties comparable to absorption polyglactin 910 2,13,25 . A variety of suture materials available for the various tissues and particularly for the gastrointestinal tract, where the risk of infection is higher, always requires a new comparative study on the suture materials.…”

“…The poliglecaprone 25 , as a monofilament, absorbable and low reagent 2,4,13,24 thread has been used in urological surgeries 27 and also in some gastrointestinal surgeries 3,4,12,20,26,28 . The absorbable monofilament sutures, such as, polydioxanone, the polyglyconate and poliglecaprone 25 are considered materials of choice for use in contaminated wounds.…”

-Background -Over the years, many sutures were developed and then abandoned. Until now was not found an ideal suture to the intestinal tract or other tissues in general, making the choice a difficult task. Aim -To evaluate, macroscopically and microscopically, the healing process of intestinal anastomoses in dogs using polyglecaprone 25, polyglactin 910 and cotton sutures. MethodsTwenty adult male dogs were operated on and underwent to three small bowel anastomosis using the technique with submucosal sutures. Were used three threads and the anastomoses were evaluated at different postoperative periods -group I -three days; group II -seven days; group III -14 days and group IV -21days. Macroscopic analysis was to assess the presence or absence of peritonitis, aspect of the anastomosis and adhesions. Histological studies of the anastomoses, using hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome analyzed the exudative inflammation, granulomatous inflammation, the mucosal epithelial coating and collagen fibers.Results -The macroscopic analysis showed good coaptation of the edges with a moderate degree of adhesion between the intestines and omentum three to 21 days after surgery. The microscopic evaluation revealed exudative inflammation with neutrophils and fibrin, which ranged from mild to moderate until the 14th day; granulomatous inflammation with macrophages, multinucleated giant cells and epithelioid cells were more evident at 14th day for the cotton, presence of granulation tissue (fibroblasts) and collagen fibers, a moderate way, from the 7th for the three threads. Conclusion -All three threads showed similar behavior and thus they can be indicated for anastomoses of the small intestine.RESUMO -Racional -Nos últimos anos muitos fios de sutura foram desenvolvidos e depois abandonados. Até hoje não foi encontrado um fio cirúrgico ideal aos intestinos ou a outros tecidos de um modo geral, tornando sua escolha tarefa difícil. Objetivo -Avaliar macro e microscopicamente a cicatrização de anastomoses do intestino delgado de cães, utilizando suturas com fios de poliglecaprone 25; poliglactina 910 e algodão. Métodos -Vinte cães machos adultos foram operados e submetidos a três anastomoses no intestino delgado empregando a técnica extramucosa com pontos separados. Foram utilizados os três tipos fios e as anastomoses foram analisadas em diferentes períodos no pós-operatório: grupo I -três dias; grupo II -sete dias; grupo III -14 dias; grupo IV -21dias. A análise macroscópica consistiu em avaliar a presença ou não de peritonite, aspecto das anastomoses e aderências. Os estudos histológicos das anastomoses, empregando a hematoxilina e eosina e o tricrômico de Masson analisaram a inflamação exsudativa, inflamação granulomatosa, o revestimento epitelial da mucosa e as fibras colágenas. Resultados -Na avaliação macroscópica os fios apresentaram boa coaptação das bordas com moderado grau de aderência entre alças e omento do 3º ao 21º dia do pós-operatório. A avaliação microscópica mostrou inflamação exsudativa com neutr...

“…Polyglecaprone 25 (Monocryl, Ethicon, Johnson & Johnson Medical BV, Amersfoort, the Netherlands) is a synthetic, monofilament, absorbable suture material that has superior handling characteristics and is resorbed faster than other monofilament materials (5). Monocryl compared favourably to polyglactine 910 suture material (Vicryl, Ethicon, Johnson & Johnson Medical BV, Amersfoort, the Netherlands) in canine intradermal skin closures (13), but has not been evaluated for intestinal surgery in dogs. In large animal surgery, the double-layer suture pattern is often the technique of choice for closure of enterotomy incisions.…”

The macroscopic and histological appearance of jejunal antimesenteric incisions approximated with two different absorbable suture materials (monofilament versus multifilament) and three closure techniques (appositional single layer, crushing single layer, and double layer) were compared in healthy dogs at 14 or 28 days, postoperatively. No significant differences between the two suture materials were observed for most of the macroscopic or histological variables. However, the monofilament suture material caused significantly more fibrous tissue reaction in the muscular layer of the jejunum than did the multifilament suture material. Of the three enterotomy closure techniques used in this study, the appositional single-layer method proved to be the best. The double-layer closure method caused a significant decrease in the incisional circumference, the relative circumference, and volume of the jejunum, and a significant increase in jejunal wall thickness. Our findings suggest that canine jejunal enterotomy incisions can be closed using an appositional suture pattern with relatively rapidly absorbable monofilament suture material. The use of double-layer suture patterns for closure of jejunal enterotomy incisions should be avoided because the size of the intestinal lumen may be reduced.

“…IRS reduces the risk of self-induced trauma, since there is no protruding material for the patient to lick or scratch. Moreover, the IRS suture apposes skin edges evenly, which promotes rapid epithelization and faster healing [11] .…”

Background: In this experimental study, simplicity of measurement and wound tensile strength of wounds fixed by simple interrupted percutaneous suture (SIPS) and intradermal running suture (IRS) were compared. Methods: Twenty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were used for the experiment and separated into two groups: SIPS group and IRS group. Under general anesthesia, two parallel full-thickness (4-cm) skin incisions were made on the back of each rat. Wounds in the SIPS group were closed using 4 interrupted percutaneous sutures, whereas wounds in the IRS group were closed by intradermal running suture. Seven animals from each group were sacrificed at 2 and at 5 days after surgery for tensile strength testing. Results: The wound tensile strength of IRS wounds was significantly higher than that of SIPS wounds at 2 days (SIPS = 2.9 ± 0.8 vs. IRS = 3.7 ± 0.9 g/mm², p < 0.05) and at 5 days (SIPS = 5.6 ± 1.3 vs. IRS = 7.1 ± 1.2 g/mm², p < 0.01). In addition, the measurement of IRS wounds was easier and faster due to removal of only one suture. Conclusions: These findings highlight the advantages of expanding the use of IRS suturing in experimental studies conducted on rats.
