Sutures inserted into the gastric wall an experimental study.
Abstract
Thirty gastrotomies were performed in 15 dogs using 2/0 atraumatic needles. Various kinds of threads were used: Dexon as an absorbable suture, Black Perlon and Black Braided Silk as nonabsorbable sutures. Ten suture rows were made with each material. Single-row interrupted sutures were made with no suture in the mucosa. No suture insufficiency occurred. Dexon proved to be the most suitable material, although the nonabsorbable sutures did not cause complications, either.
