Tissue reaction to sutures was studied in 666 specimens obtained from patients from one day to 23 years after operation. Reaction to catgut depends on the stage of absorption and is mainly histocytic in type. Nonabsorbable sutures are encapsulated by a rim of connective tissue, while near the suture histocytes, giant cells and lymphocytes are found. This is most marked with silk and cotton, less so with Dacron, and least with nylon and wire. Tissue infiltration into the suture interstics is variable. The reactions resemble the findings in experimental animals.
对666份取自术后1天至23年患者的标本进行了组织对缝线的反应研究。对肠线的反应取决于吸收阶段，主要为组织细胞型。不可吸收缝线被结缔组织边缘包裹，而在缝线附近可发现组织细胞、巨细胞和淋巴细胞。这在丝线和棉线中最为明显，在涤纶线中次之，在尼龙线和金属线中最不明显。组织向缝线间隙的浸润情况各不相同。这些反应与实验动物中的发现相似。
