Clinical analysis of intradermal subcutaneous suture in acute gastrointestinal tract incision / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between wound suture and incision complications in acute gastrointesti -nal tract incision .Methods Patients with abdominal surgery ( acute digestive tract perforation , and acute intestinal obstruction ) were divided into two groups .The differences between two suture methods were compared with the indicators such as operative time , incision complications, and hospital stay, etc.Results There were no significant differences between two groups (12.5%vs 20%) in incision complications ( P >0.05 );while there were differences in the postoperative hospital stay between two groups .The hospital stay of the intradermalsubcutaneoussuturegroup(13.54±7.32)dweresignificantlyshorterthanthatoftraditionalgroup(18.11±11.67)d(P<0.05 ) .Conclusions Wound intradermal subcutaneous suture was superior to traditional suture in acute gastrointestinal tract inci -sion.No significant difference was found between two groups in incision complications , but wound intradermal subcutaneous suture had significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay .
