Evaluation of polyglycolic acid sutures in vascular surgery
Journal of Surgical Research, 1973DURING RECENT DECADES suture materials have been improved in many ways. Both absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures now have high standards of quality, their caliber and tensile strength have been standardized, sterilization is near-perfect and rate of absorption has been graded for absorbable materials; nevertheless, the ideal suture remains to be ...

Polyglycolic acid mesh occlusion for postoperative bronchopleural fistula
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2015Background Postoperative bronchopleural fistula is one of the most life-threatening complications after anatomical pulmonary resection. Bronchopleural fistula may cause empyema and aspiration pneumonia with subsequent acute respiratory distress syndrome.

The generally accepted characteristics of an ideal suture material include superior tensile strength, good knot security, excellent handling characteristics, minimal tissue reaction, absence of allergenic properties, resistance to infection, and eventual absorption when tissue repair has reached satisfactory levels.

Polyglycolic acid mesh in repair of renal injury
Urology, 1986To evaluate the use of a polyglycolic acid (PGA) mesh graft for partial nephrectomy, we replaced the upper pole of the left kidney in 12 New Zealand white rabbits with a free omental fat graft and the lower pole with PGA mesh. The mesh stopped the bleeding immediately during the operation.

Histologic comparison of polylactic and polyglycolic acid sutures
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1971Abstract Comparative studies were carried out to determine soft-tissue reactions and speeds of biodegradation of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyglycolic acid (PGA) sutures in rats. These sutures were placed in the posterior aspects of the thigh muscles, and the animals were killed intermittently through a 90-day postoperative period.

Polyglycolic Acid Versus Chromic Catgut in Bladder Surgery
British Journal of Urology, 1978Summary— The clinical importance of calcified deposits on sutures in bladder surgery was evaluted in a blind paried randomised trial of 3/0 chromic catgut versus polyglycolic acid 3/0. Cystoscopy with photographic recording was performed 8 weeks after operation in 40 patients wihout and 8 patients with previous ...

A Trial of Polyglycolic Acid Sutures for Circumcision
British Journal of Urology, 1973Summary A controlled trial is described in which PGA is compared with catgut as a suture material for circumcision. Of a total of 56 operations, PGA was used in 28, plain catgut in 14 and chromic catgut in 14. A good result, indicated by the absence of discomfort or local reaction after 7 days, was obtained in 82% of cases with PGA ...

Renorrhaphy with a polyglycolic acid mesh.
Annales chirurgiae et gynaecologiae, 1990In recent years resorbable polyglycolic acid mesh has been successfully used in the treatment of splenic injuries. The use of a resorbable mesh seems promising also in the treatment of renal injuries and in the rare ruptures of renal allografts. The authors report their own experience in the use of resorbable polyglycolic acid mesh in the treatment of ...

Enzyme-accelerated hydrolysis of polyglycolic acid.
Journal of bioengineering, 1978In a preliminary study of the enzyme-polymer interactions, the role of 15 enzymes in the in vitro hydrolysis of polyglycolic acid has been investigated. Carboxypeptidase A, alpha-chymotrypsin, clostridiopeptidase A and ficin increase the rate of hydrolysis of this synthetic polymer, illustrating the ability of enzymes to influence polymer degradation.
