Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Abdominal incision healing is not only related with the patient’s own situation, but also closely related with the surgeon's suture technique, suture method, choice of stitches.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the absorbable sutures and silk sutures for abdominal incision.
METHODS: Totally 153 colorectal cancer patients, including 91 males and 62 females, aged 30-82 years, were randomly divided into observation group (n=78) and control group (n=75). An abdominal midline incision was made in all patients receiving radical surgery of colorectal cancer. The Vicryl suture and silk suture were respectively used in the observation and control groups for abdominal incision closure. Suturing time, length of hospital stay, incision infection, disruption of wound, fat liquefaction of wound and rejection were compared between two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The suturing time and length of hospital stay were less in the observation group than the control group (P < 0.05). In the observation group, there were three cases of incision infection, but no incision dehiscence and rejection occurred; in the control group, there were 10 cases of incision infection, 4 cases of incision dehiscence, and 5 cases of rejection. A significant difference was found in the incision infection, dehiscence and rejection between the two groups (P < 0.05). Hospitalization expenses and fat liquefaction of 
incision had no difference between the two groups. these findings indicate that the Vicryl plus as an absorbable suture is simple, effective and safe that can promote wound healing and reduce complications.
