The effect comparation of different suture methods for abdominal transverse incision

Objective To compare the effect of different suture methods for abdominal transverse incision. Methods 60 patients with abdominal transverse incision in ourhospital from April 2008 to January 2013 were randomly divided into observation group(n=45) and control group(n=45).Observation group was given layered continuous suture with absorbable sutures and control group was given continuous suture with silk. Results In the observation group, the suture time was(8.48±2.21)min, VAS scores was(5.33±4.43) points, woundhealing was class-A in 42 cases, class-B in 3 cases. In the control group, the suture time was(16.37 ±3.39) min, VAS scores was(7.24±1.32) points,, woundhealing was class-A in 37 cases, class-B in 6 cases, class-C in 2 cases. The suture time, postoperative incisional pain, and incisionhealing level in the observation group were significant better than those in the control group( P0.05). Conclusion Compared with continuous suture with silk, using absorbable sutures layered continuous suture abdominal transverse incisionhas a better effect. It is worthy of promotion.
