Nonabsorbable sutures are often recommended for use in oculoplastic surgery. This study compares the in vivo performance of nonabsorbable and absorbable sutures in an animal model and attempts to determine if one suture type is clearly superior for subcutaneous wound closure. The performance of each suture was evaluated using three surgical techniques. Comparison of results revealed that different techniques produce profoundly different results, independent of suture choice. Clinically, all suture types behaved similarly when used with the same surgical technique. Thus, absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures are equally effective under the conditions of these experiments.
不可吸收缝线常用于眼部整形手术。本研究在动物模型中比较了不可吸收缝线和可吸收缝线的体内性能，并试图确定一种缝线类型在皮下伤口闭合方面是否明显更优。使用三种手术技术评估了每种缝线的性能。结果比较显示，不同技术产生的结果差异极大，与缝线选择无关。临床上，当使用相同手术技术时，所有缝线类型的表现相似。因此，在这些实验条件下，可吸收缝线和不可吸收缝线同样有效。
