Suture-related complications can occur in response to a patient's immune system activation regardless of surgical site. However, there is minimal literature describing complications related to commonly used Polydek sutures. We report the diagnosis, treatment, and follow up of four cases of Polydek suture-related complications post-eyelid lateral tarsal strip procedures, including an early wound healing problem/infection and later granuloma formation and/or suture extrusion that only resolved after removal of the Polydek suture or granuloma tissue. Use of non-Polydek sutures may reduce the likelihood for post-operative suture complications.
缝线相关并发症可能会因患者免疫系统激活而发生，与手术部位无关。然而，很少有文献描述与常用的聚二酮缝线相关的并发症。我们报告了 4 例眼睑外侧睑板条手术后聚二酮缝线相关并发症的诊断、治疗和随访，包括早期伤口愈合问题/感染和后期肉芽肿形成和/或缝线挤出，只有在去除聚二酮缝线或肉芽肿组织后才得到解决。使用非聚二酮缝线可能会降低术后缝线并发症的可能性。
