Suture granulomas can occur after gastric surgery with nonabsorbable suture material. They are usually an asymptomatic, incidental finding on post-surgical x-ray studies, but have to be recognized because their radiological appearance may mimic gastric neoplasms and therefore may lead to unnecessary reoperations. Four cases of suture granulomas are presented, their diagnostic criteria outlined, and a plea is made for the use of a new completely absorbable suture material which could eliminate the occurrence of suture granulomas as well as the other known complications related to nonabsorable sutures, such as suture-line ulcers, abscesses, and adhesions.
使用不可吸收缝合材料进行胃手术后可能会出现缝线肉芽肿。它们通常是在术后X线检查中偶然发现的无症状病变，但必须予以识别，因为其放射学表现可能类似胃肿瘤，从而可能导致不必要的再次手术。本文报告了4例缝线肉芽肿病例，概述了其诊断标准，并呼吁使用一种新型的完全可吸收缝合材料，这种材料可以消除缝线肉芽肿的发生以及与不可吸收缝线相关的其他已知并发症，如缝线溃疡、脓肿和粘连。
