Adhesion formation to incisional abdominal wound in response to polyamide 6 and polyglactin 910 sutures

ABSTRACT

Frequency of adhesion formation to laparotomy wound scar in response to absorbable and non-absorbable synthetic sutures and closure technique was studied. Polyglactin "910" [synthetic absorbable] and polyamide "6" [synthetic non-absorbable] sutures were compared employing both mass and layered closure technique. Layered closure with polyglactin "910" closure developed maximum number of adhesions to laparotomy scar
