Sutures (Suture)

09/01/2010 - "Biocompatible and biodegradable wound sealants hold much promise in eventually replacing sutures in most surgical procedures."
07/01/2010 - "Therefore, suture closure seems to be the best option for secondary closure of superficial wound dehiscence.However"
06/01/1990 - "The results of ++clinico-bacterial examination of 168 patients provide evidence for the efficacy of CO2-laser treatment of a purulent wound; it reduces contamination of the tissues, 1,000-10,000-fold as a result of which surgical debridement of the purulent wound is completed in most cases by the application of a primary suture. "
01/01/1984 - "Acute suture of isolated anterior cruciate ligament injuries afforded the best results in this series and is recommended."
01/01/2013 - "It is important to highlight how the suture repairs have evolved and improved but also review how they may contribute to their own trauma. "

01/01/1989 - "A study of skin suture following elliptical excision of tattoos from the upper limb shows that when the dermis is supported by a subcuticular non-absorbable suture for 6 months there is (a) a highly significant and numerically considerable (37.5%) reduction of scar stretching over that following conventional interrupted skin suture and (b) a significant reduction of scar width (15.7%) when compared with the same material used as a subcuticular suture for 3 weeks. "
09/01/2004 - "The use of a deep 6/0 polydioxanon (PDS) suture significantly decreased the incidence of scar widening (p < 0.005).The columellar incision can be used safely in the Arab population regardless of their thick, dark, and oily skin. "
07/01/2012 - "The findings of this study indicate that the subcutaneous approximation suture is effective for preventing excessive scar tissue formation in the supratip area after rhinoplasty in rabbits. "
01/01/2010 - "Prior studies have shown that the pulsed dye laser (PDL) is effective in improving the quality and appearance of the scar when using the 585-nm PDL immediately after the removal of sutures. "
12/01/2003 - "This laser is safe and effective in the treatment of surgical scars starting as soon as possible, on the day of suture removal if possible. "

09/01/2013 - "Orthodontic patients treated with the diode laser required less infiltration anaesthesia, had reduced bleeding during and after surgery, rapid postoperative haemostasis, elimination of the need for sutures and an improved postoperative comfort and healing."
02/01/2011 - "Suture line reinforcement allows a significant reduction of bleeding."
01/01/2009 - "The strong clinical impression is that topical hemostatic application of PEG sealant to anastomotic suture lines is helpful in preventing bleeding. "
04/01/2004 - "A significantly greater proportion of bleeding suture line sites treated with the polymeric sealant achieved immediate sealing following reestablishment of blood flow compared with control-treated sites [48 of 59 (81%) vs 10 of 27 (37%); P = 0.002]. "
02/01/1994 - "Improved therapeutic results require use of patch vein graft for the arterial wall suture, checking of the CEA patency, and prevention of intracranial ischemic events and hemorrhage due to associated lesions."

04/01/2004 - "In the sense of the least final postoperative astigmatism, the best results we have reached in cases where the donor corneal graft was 0.25 mm larger in diameter and the suture was adjusted during the surgery using light circles according to Serdarevic. "
08/01/1998 - "Refractive surgical techniques such as suture removal or adjustment, relaxing incisions, wedge resections, and photorefractive keratectomy or laser in situ keratomileusis can dramatically reduce postoperative astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty and lead to improved, functional vision. "
09/01/1994 - "RIs and compression sutures are very useful in reducing postkeratoplasty astigmatism if correction of extremely high cylinder (> 10 D) is not intended. "
06/01/1994 - "Intraoperative suture adjustment significantly decreased postkeratoplasty topographic (P = 0.0001) and refractive (P = 0.0001) astigmatism and improved best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (P = 0.0019) during the first postoperative month. "
05/01/2005 - "All measures of astigmatism and SRI and SAI values showed postoperative improvement with sutures in place; however, astigmatism increased significantly after second suture removal. "

04/01/2015 - "Only antibiotic-impregnated suture, a no-shave policy, and double gloving with glove change prior to shunt handling, were associated with a significant reduction in shunt infection. "
10/01/2008 - "Ninety-six percent of the patients achieved good results without any flap loss or suture infections. "
03/05/1999 - "The infection risk with the implantation of multifilament sutures was significantly greater than with monofilament sutures. "
05/01/1988 - "Second-look operations may be beneficial to evaluate tenuous repairs, whereas various techniques are helpful in avoiding suture line breakdowns as a result of infection."
01/01/2013 - "In orthopaedic surgery sutures were found to be preferable, and for appendicial stump sutures were protective against both surgical site infection and post surgical complications. "
