Sutures in general surgery. New materials and advice

Paolo Izzo et al. Ann Ital Chir. 2023.

Abstract

The suture thread used in digestive surgery must have several characteristics, including resistance to tension until the anastomosis coalescence, rapid absorption to avoid complications, biocompatibility and ease of handling. The preference is for monofilament polymers as they offer greater guarantees in biliary-digestive anastomoses. Suturing with synthetic polymers and mechanical devices such as staplers are the most suitable techniques. It is believed that staplers may become the gold standard technique in robotic surgery based on their experience and experimental data. In general, the goal is to use materials that minimize the risk of post-operative complications and offer maximum reliability in the anastomosis. KEY WORD: Suture material, Stapler.

Il filo di sutura utilizzato in chirurgia digestiva deve possedere diverse caratteristiche, tra cui la resistenza alla tensione fino alla coalescenza dell’anastomosi, il rapido assorbimento 8,11,16,21 per evitare complicanze, la biocompatibilità e la maneggevolezza. La preferenza è per i polimeri monofilamento in quanto offrono maggiori garanzie nelle anastomosi bilio-digestive 19. La sutura con polimeri sintetici e dispositivi meccanici come le suturatrici meccaniche sono le tecniche più adatte. Si ritiene che la suturatrici meccanica possa diventare la tecnica gold standard nella chirurgia robotica sulla base della loro esperienza e dei dati sperimentali. In generale, l’obiettivo è utilizzare materiali che riducano al minimo il rischio di complicanze post-operatorie e offrano la massima affidabilità nell’anastomosi.
