[Utilization of the new synthetic dissolving sutures caproag in obstetrics and gynecology]. / Opyt primeneniia novykh sinteticheskikh rassasyvaiushchikhsia shovnykh nitei kaproag v akusherstve i ginekologii.

The paper deals with the experience with synthetic resolving Caproag suture threads which have antibacterial properties for suturing the uterine section during Caesarean and other gynecological operations. There is evidence for its high efficacy in optimal tissue regeneration. Caproag was used in the most life-threatening infectious and septic complications. With this, a reduction has been achieved in the incidence of postoperative pyo-inflammatory diseases, which makes Caproag compare favourably with the conventional suture threads catgut and vicryl.

A single-row suturing of the incision on the uterus after cesarean section with separate muscular-muscular sutures by synthetic dissolving threads holds good promise. Such suturing helped optimize the reparative processes in the uterine cicatrix and reduce the incidence of postoperative pyoseptic complications. Kaproag, an antibacterial suture material made in this country, proved to be the best for the purpose.

[Double contrasting in the ultrasonic study of the area of the suture on the uterus following cesarean section]. / Dvoinoe kontrastirovanie pri ul'trazvukovom issledovanii oblasti shva na matke posle operatsii kesareva secheniia.

Ultrasonic examination of the suture site on the uterus was carried out in 7-10 days following a cesarean section in 73 women. Several types of characteristic echograms were distinguished, evidencing the adequacy of the reparative processes at the site of suture on the uterus. The authors find the double-contrast echoscopic examination of the postoperative uterus highly effective, and much more informative than common ultrasonic examination. Synthetic suture material is recommended.
