The main function of a suture is to hold the wound edges in apposition until healing is sufficiently advanced for the wound to be self-supporting. In practice, as an absorbable material is losing tensile strength, the wound is gaining strength and at a particular time, which varies according to the tissue involved, equilibrium will be reached. Ophthalmic surgery presents the ideal situation whe...

We present our penile curvature treatment experience in Peyronie's disease and cogenital curvature, using a modificated plication technique of the tunica albuginea with Prolene inverted sutures covered with Vicryl ones. The first suture gives security to the plication and the second one hides the first dots avoiding the nonabsorbable sutures bother.

We present a case of a bronchogenic pulmonary cyst in a 48-year-old patient. We performed [corrected] mucoclasis using argon laser photocoagulation following resection of mucosa, closure of some drainage bronchus, and covering of the inner surface by the intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst with an [corrected] absorbable vicryl mesh. At [corrected] 4-year [corrected] follow-up, the patient had no s...

Background: Episiotomy is a deliberate incision made on the perineum and posterior vaginal wall during delivery. Mothers that have new baby are in great need for wound care pain relief. We assessed compared intensity sexual satisfaction using cyanoacrylate adhesive glue vicryl episiotomy skin closure at AKTH, Kano Nigeria. Methods: A randomised control trial was conducted among 100 women who ha...

The satisfactory substitute for catgut suture, Vicryl (polyglactin 910) suture, was used in fifty-three patients who underwent general and thoracic surgical procedures. Theoretical advantages of increased strength, controlled absorption by slow depolymerization and dissolution, and superior handling characteristics were confirmed. No suture-related complications were observed.
