A retrospective comparison of absorbable versus non-absorbable sutures for elective hand surgery wound closures.
J Hand Microsurg
January 2025
Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, 925 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19107, USA.
Background: Suture selection in elective hand surgery closures has traditionally been non-absorbable sutures (NAS) rather than absorbable sutures (AS). The goal of this study was to evaluate absorbable versus non-absorbable closures of various primary elective hand procedures. Our group hypothesized that no differences in major short-term outcomes would exist.

General Surgical Department, Liverpool Hospital, Corner of Elizabeth and Goulburn Street, Liverpool, New South Wales, 2170, Australia.
Background: Post-operative pancreatic fistula is a common and morbid complication of pancreaticojejunal anastomosis. While gastrointestinal anastomosis is typically performed using absorbable sutures, this issue has prompted experimentation with non-absorbable sutures. This study aims to assess the available literature to provide recommendations on suture choice in this anastomosis.

J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Institute of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Madras Medical College, Chennai, India.
Background: Penetrating neck injuries are rare and require urgent surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. This report highlights a unique case involving complex surgical repair of tracheal, esophageal, and vascular injuries following a homicidal assault, emphasizing the challenges and techniques used in managing such severe trauma.
Case Presentation: A 45-year-old female presented with a severe penetrating neck injury after an alleged homicidal assault with a knife.
Comparison of complications and surgery outcomes in skin closure methods following cesarean sections.
Arch Gynecol Obstet
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Lis Hospital for Women's Health, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the impact of absorbable subcutaneous staples for skin closure in cesarean delivery (CD) on maternal morbidity.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single tertiary university-affiliated medical center between January 2011 and April 2022. In 2020, a new technique involving absorbable subcutaneous staples for skin closure in CD was introduced.
Silver-Treated Sutures for the Prevention of Biofilm-Associated Surgical Site Infections.
Antibiotics (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Experimental Medicine, University of Salento, Via Monteroni, 73100 Lecce, Italy.
Background/objectives: The huge concerns associated with biofilm-related infections in surgical procedures, along with the antibiotic resistance demonstrated by an increasing number of bacteria, have highlighted the need for alternative and effective prevention approaches. The aim of this research was to develop novel antimicrobial coatings on surgical sutures for the prevention of surgical site infections through nanotechnology-based methods.
Results: The results demonstrated that although very low amounts of silver precursor were adopted for the treatments, the silver coating was effective against and antibiotic-resistant in reducing the potential risk of infection.
