Closure of elective abdominal incisions with monofilament, non-absorbable suture material versus polyfilament absorbable suture material.

Background: Closure of abdominal incisions with different suture materials has been a matter of great controversy. Polypropylene and Polylactide with Polyglycolide are among the commonest suture materials used for closure of abdominal incisions. Objectives of this study were to assess optimal suture material used for closure of elective abdominal incisions and to see complications associated with these suture materials.
