Sutures and Anastomoses 969
EXPLANATIONS
SUTURES
1. Ans. a. Polypropylene (Ref. Bailey 26/e p37-38, 25/e p236-239)
Suture Materials
Absorbable Non-absorbable
These sutures get absorbed in the tissues either These sutures remain in the tissues for
by enzymatic digestion or by phagocytosisQ. indefinite period.
1. Natural absorbable: 1. Natural non-absorbable:
Plain and chromic catgutQ LinenQ
2. Synthetic absorbable: SilkQ
Polyglycolic acid (Dexon)Q 2. Synthetic non-absorbable:
Polyglactin (Vicryl)Q Polypropylene (Prolene)Q
Polydioxanone (PDS)Q Monofilament polyamide (Ethilon)Q
Polyglycaprone PolyesterQ (ethibond)
NylonQ
Monofilament Polyfilament
Consist of single strandQ of fiber Consist of multiple strandsQ braided together
Sutures are smooth and strongQ Easier to handle and knot tied doesnt slipQ
Chances of bacterial contamination is lessQ Bacteria may lodge in the crevices of the suture, so not
Knot tied may become looseQ suitable in presence of infectionQ
Prolene, polyamide, catgut Silk, linen, polyglycollic acid
Sutures
Vicryl (Co-polymer of glycolide and lactide) maintains tensile strength for 28-30 daysQ and gets absorbed
in 80-90 days (Delayed absorption)Q
Vicryl is used for bile duct surgeriesQ.
PDS sutures exhibit the lowest affinity to the adherence of E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus; Dexon sutures exhibit the highest
affinity to these species.
Polydioxanone (PDS) undergoes hydrolysis and complete absorption within 180 days.
Raw material used in nylon suture: Polyamide polymer

ANASTOMOSES
16. Ans. a. Cheatles maneuver (Ref. Bailey 26/e p42-44, 25/e p242-246)
The Cheatle split (making a cut into the anti-mesenteric border) may help to enlarge the lumen of distal, collapsed bowelQ.
It has been suggested by Jenkins that a suture length to wound length ratio of 4:1 indicates the optimum size
of tissue bites and of suture spacingQ.
Anastomosis of vessels was pioneered by CarrelQ.

Sutures and Anastomoses 971
Bowel Anastomoses
Vascular Anastomoses
Vascular anastomoses require more precision than bowel anastomoses as they must be immediately watertightQ at the end of the
operation when the clamps are removed.
