Absorbable sutures are used frequently in the practice of surgery yet there have been no studies in the literature that review the currently available sutures. A newly released suture was used in a series of 80 head and neck patients and the results compared to the surgeon's experience with other absorbable suture materials. The literature regarding absorbable sutures is reviewed and background information on currently available sutures is provided. The tensile strength and absorption of various materials are compared. Degree of tissue reactivity in animals is presented. Results of the evaluation of Monocryl in 80 cases suggest that it has many preferable qualities including ease of handling, low tissue reactivity, superior tensile strength, and lower cost.
可吸收缝线在外科手术中经常使用，但文献中尚无对目前可用缝线进行综述的研究。一种新发布的缝线被应用于80例头颈部患者，并将结果与外科医生使用其他可吸收缝线材料的经验进行了比较。本文综述了有关可吸收缝线的文献，并提供了目前可用缝线的背景信息。比较了各种材料的抗张强度和吸收情况。介绍了动物体内的组织反应程度。对80例患者使用单丝聚乙醇酸缝线（Monocryl）的评估结果表明，它具有许多优良特性，包括操作简便、组织反应性低、抗张强度高和成本较低。
