[Consecutive series of 100 colonic resections with a modified continuous suture technic].

Based on a consecutive series it is reported about a modified type of "continuous" suture on the colon, used especially in elderly patients for being a secure and prompt method of anastomosing. The rate of insufficiency and mortality, as far as the clinical relevance is concerned, turns out to be 2% each and there was no relation between mortality and insufficient anastomosis. The complication rate was 11%, whereby the urological complications predominated with 6% of the total.

[Improvement of suture technic in flexor tendon injuries. Clinical and experimental study].

Multiple causes for the rupture of sutured tendons have been reported. At the time of exploration, loosening of the knot and breakage of the suture have been found to explain failure. A knot with four throws is frequently mentioned in various series as the smallest secure knot which can be made when employing a braided polyester suture material. Experiments have shown that the distance between the ends of the tendons affects the healing process and the tensile strength of the injured tendons. In order to avoid increasing the gap between the sutured ends of the tendons with the thick knot, it can be placed away from the cut surface of the tendons and displaced into the proximal or distal end of the tendons with a small additional incision. Through a longitudinal incision, the suture is easily passed in a criss cross fashion through the tendon and the knot can be buried in the tendon. This technique assures a very delicate and exact coaptation of the tendon ends. Almost 100% of the tendons remain intact during the healing phase. According to this experience, the risk of tendon rupture is reduced as a result of an increase in the tensile strength of the suture and the displacement of the knot away from the cut surface of the tendon.

[Resorbable suture material in the human skin: tissue reaction and modified suture technic].

Two-stage excision of skin tumors provided an opportunity for histological evaluation of implanted PDS or Vicryl suture material. Our findings showed a weak or absent tissue response to PDS sutures that was detectable for up to 100 days and a moderately pronounced tissue response to Vicryl that, in rare cases, was evident for up to 80 days. The tissue response to both materials depended on the depth of the implanted suture material. A persistent inflammatory reaction was provoked particularly by Vicryl, a polyfilament suture, when it was embedded near the skin surface. Contact between parts of the suture and the skin surface, which is encouraged by the wick effect of the Vicryl suture, frequently led to suture infection. To avoid infections it is important to place the knot of the stich below the dermis, since the suture ends of the knot decrease the surface-suture distance. A more-or-less horizontal, butterfly-shaped interrupted suture that extends upward is recommended to ensure secure placement of the knot at the lower border of the corium.

[The roll-and-suture technic as a treatment method in left-sided abomasal displacement in cattle: an acceptable alternative?].

The roll-and-suture technique was introduced as a rapid, easy and cheap method of surgical correction of left-sided abomasal displacement in cattle. It is questionable however, whether satisfactory reposition and fixation are achieved in every case using this technique. The present authors studied the roll-and-suture technique in four animals affected with left-sided abomasal displacement. In addition, five cases treated by this method in general practice were investigated. In view of the results obtained, attention is drawn to possible intra- and postoperative complications. It is concluded that the roll-and-suture technique should be rejected from the point of view of surgical treatment as it is not known which abdominal structures are being sutured. Although there may be ethical reservations in regard to the roll-and-suture technique, this method may therefore be acceptable from the economic point of view.

[Excision and immediate suture technic in the treatment of pilonidal fistula. Our experience].

The authors report their personal experience of the "excision and primary suture" operating technique in the surgical treatment of pilonidal sinus. A rapid recovery by postoperative day 10 was achieved in 58 out of 60 cases treated (96.7%). Dehiscence of the surgical wound was observed in 2 cases (3.3%) following ischemic lesion caused by decubitus of the cutaneous margins and healing occurred by second intenti. No cases of short- or long-term recidivation were observed. The advantages of this method are the early return to working activities, minor patient discomfort and the reduced risk that the surgical would might become infected. Three basic stages for the successful outcome of this type of surgery have been identified as follows: 1) Although and accurate tricotomy of the sacro-coccigeal region. Antibiotic therapy is started about 2 hours before surgery. 2) The precise execution of the surgical technique. 3) The continuation of antibiotic therapy until postoperative day 7. Compressive medication is removed on postoperative day 4. If these three basic stages are respected, no cases of recidivation will occur.
