We previously reported the stump closure method for the remnant pancreas in distal pancreatectomy, in which soft coagulation and polyglycolic acid felt attached with fibrin glue were utilized. Transpa...
The polyglycolic acid felt group included patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy in whom the pancreatic stump was closed with the polyglycolic acid felt method from 2017 to 2018 (n = 54); whereas t...
The incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula was significantly lower in the modified transpancreatic mattress suture with polyglactin 910 woven mesh group than in the polyglyc...
The modified transpancreatic mattress suture with polyglactin 910 woven mesh method is an effective stump closure technique to prevent clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal...
The incidence of breast cancer in Pakistan has been rising with approximately one third of these patients requiring mastectomy. Among breast reconstruction treatment options, the use of Acellular Derm...
A single centre, retrospective, chart review was conducted, and a total 28 women were included in the study. Thirty-two pre-pectoral implant-based mastectomies with Polyglactin 910 mesh were performed...
Only 4 (12.5%) women experienced early post-operative morbidity. One patient developed a wound dehiscence, which eventually led to reconstruction failure and removal of the implant. Another patient ha...
This study reveals that early post-operative outcomes with Polyglactin 910 mesh in breast reconstructive surgery are few, thus making it a cost effective, reliable, and safe treatment option, especial...
Sutures play a crucial role in closing mucosal incisions during endoscopic nasal surgery. The duration until the spontaneous drop of polyglactin 910 (Vicryl) sutures in the nasal cavity remains uncert...
Synthetic surgical meshes are commonly used in abdominal wall reconstruction surgeries to strengthen a weak abdominal wall. Common mesh-related complications include local infection and inflammatory p...
Polyglactin 910 sutures are commonly used in strabismus surgery due to their favorable handling and absorption qualities. However, their potential to cause allergic reactions is poorly documented in m...
An 11-year-old girl with a history of left congenital partial third nerve palsy was treated with 8-0, polyglactin 910 sutures during a strabismus surgery. However, two days postoperatively, she experi...
This case highlights a rare but crucial allergic reaction to polyglactin 910 sutures used in strabismus surgery. The patient's persistent inflammation, pain, and resistance to antibiotics indicated a ...
Healthcare providers should be alert to potential allergic reactions to sutures after strabismus surgery. Timely identification and removal are vital for resolving the symptoms and achieving optimal p...
Cesarean delivery is a commonly performed surgical procedure worldwide. There is limited good-quality evidence regarding subcuticular skin closure with absorbable sutures in transverse incisions after...
We conducted this randomized controlled trial to compare poliglecaprone-25 (3-0) and polyglactin-910 (4-0) sutures for subcuticular skin closure in pfannensteil incisions among women undergoing cesare...
In this double-blind, single-center, randomized controlled trial among women undergoing cesarean delivery (elective and emergency), 200 women were randomized (group 1; subcuticular skin closure with p...
Composite wound complications (including surgical site infection, hematoma, seroma, need for re-suturing or readmission for wound complications) were similar in two groups (n {group 1 vs. 2}; 16 vs. 1...
Both poliglecaprone-25 (3-0) suture and polyglactin-910 (4-0) subcuticular sutures were comparable regarding composite wound complications (surgical site infection, hematoma, seroma, wound separation ...
Aim and objectives The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) rates in abdominal wound closure utilizing antibacterial-coated (triclosan-coated) suture mate...
To assess the efficacy and safety of using the adjustable flanged technique for secondary implantation of four-point scleral‑fixated posterior chamber intraocular lenses with two parallel 6-0 polyglac...
Two parallel 6-0 polyglactin sutures were passed separately through the two haptics on the horizontal line of the 4-haptic IOL. The four externalized sutures were then trimmed and cauterized to form f...
The flanged technique using two parallel 6-0 polyglactin sutures was applied to 14 aphakic eyes. The average preoperative best corrected visual acuity was 1.00 ± 0.88 LogMAR (Snellen 20/200), which im...
The simplicity of the technique, along with its ability to accommodate adjustments post-implantation, allows for optimal positioning and reduces risks like IOL tilt or dislocation. Overall, this is a ...
The global rise in frequency of cesarean delivery raises the concern to minimize the post-operative complications, in order to improve the maternal and neonatal health. Closure of subcutaneous tissue ...
A single-blind, prospective, randomized study was conducted in two centres between February and November, 2021. Primiparous or multiparous women (18-40 years) with a singleton pregnancy requiring cesa...
Non-significant difference in the incidence of subcutaneous abdominal wound disruptions, skin disruption, SSI, seroma, hematoma, intraoperative handling characteristics, operative time, pain, duration...
Following cesarean section, subcutaneous tissue closure using polyglycolic acid suture or polyglactin 910 suture was not associated with incidence of subcutaneous abdominal wound disruptions. Addition...
