This study aimed to compare the colonization of (), (), () and () isolated from the oral cavity on different suture materials used in oral implantology. Patients scheduled for implant surgery were included in this study. After flap approximation, the surgical site was sutured using silk, nylon, polyglactin 910 (Vicryl) and triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 (Vicryl Plus) sutures in a randomized order. Seven days after surgery, the sutures were removed and incubated in bile esculin agar (for ), MacConkey agar (for ), mitis salivarius agar (for ), and mannitol salt agar (for ) at 37°C for 24 h. The colonies were then counted. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. Vicryl sutures showed the highest accumulation of , followed by Vicryl Plus, nylon, and silk. There was no significant difference between nylon and silk (P=0.5) or between Vicryl and Vicryl Plus (P=0.4). Vicryl Plus sutures showed the highest accumulation of followed by Vicryl, silk and nylon (P<0.01). Vicryl sutures showed the highest accumulation of , followed by Vicryl Plus, silk, and nylon. Vicryl Plus sutures showed the highest accumulation of , followed by Vicryl, nylon, and silk. Nylon sutures showed the least microbial accumulation. Vicryl and triclosan-coated Vicryl Plus sutures had no advantage over the commonly used silk sutures in decreasing the number of bacteria.

Revision quadriceps tendon repair: A case series and technique guide to a novel repair.
Trauma Case Rep
February 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, University at Buffalo, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Buffalo, NY 14203, United States of America.
Introduction: Revision quadriceps tendon repair is a challenging problem. In this four-case series, novel quadriceps tendon revision resulted in improved range of motion and durable repair for patients with recurrent rupture.
Methods: Our technique includes a combination of a running locked #5 FiberWire or 2 mm SutureTape suture placed through parallel medial, lateral, and central drill holes in the patella with running Krackow-type quadriceps tendon repair medially and laterally resulting in four strands, delivering the vastus medialis and medial quadriceps tendon to an anatomic repair at the superior pole of the patella, with 2 sutures passed centrally and 1 each passed medially and laterally and then tied.
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.
Immediate Stentless Lacrimal Sac to Conjunctiva Reconstructive Ostomy for Cancer and Trauma Defects: LACROS (Conjunctivodacryocystostomy).
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
January 2025
Plastic Surgery Unit, Clínica San Francisco, Tuluá, Colombia.
Purpose: To describe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of lacrimal sac to conjunctiva reconstructive ostomy for proximal lacrimal system reconstruction.
Methods: This retrospective study included 41 patients (32 cancer and 9 trauma; 36 primary and 5 secondary) who underwent lacrimal sac to conjunctiva reconstructive ostomy. The technique involves creating a direct connection between a surgical opening in the lacrimal sac, which maintains its bony attachments to prevent ostomy occlusion, and the medial conjunctiva (medial fornix, bulbar, and palpebral).
Impact of Suture Materials on Surgical Site Infection in Oral Oncological Surgery With Free-Flap Reconstruction: Analysis Using Propensity Scores.
Ann Plast Surg
December 2024
From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital East, Kashiwa.
Objective: The impact of suture materials on surgical site infections (SSIs) has been well documented in various surgical fields; however, it has not been thoroughly examined in oral oncological surgery with free-flap reconstruction. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of oral SSIs associated with the use of monofilament and braided sutures for flap fixation.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent oral oncological resection with free-flap reconstruction was conducted between May 2020 and April 2024.
Transcorneal Vitrectomy in Eyes with Regressed Retinoblastoma.
Retina
June 2024
Roski Eye Institute, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Purpose: Current treatments for retinoblastoma facilitate globe salvage but can result in vitreoretinal disorders that may require surgery. There is controversy on surgical approaches in eyes with retinoblastoma. Here we describe a transcorneal vitrectomy approach that avoids the use of chemotherapy or cryotherapy.
