Surgical Materials and Wound Closure Techniques

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 1996
Recent innovations in surgical materials have helped to enhance wound healing and protect surgical wounds from infection. Materials such as polyglyconate have been evaluated in equine tissues and found efficacious. Other materials, such as poliglecaprone 25, appear to have qualities useful to equine surgery but are untested in equine tissues. Care must

Surgical Closure of Elbow Hygroma in the Dog

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1974
SUMMARY A surgical technique for treatment of elbow hygroma, consisting of draining and apposing the inner surfaces of the hygroma, was used successfully in 27 of 30 dogs so treated.

Evaluation of surgical tapes for wound closure

Journal of Surgical Research, 1985
The performance of four wound closure tapes was evaluated by a series of standardized tests. The tapes examined in this study were a nonwoven microporous tape, a nonwoven microporous reinforced tape, a gauze tape, and a polyurethane tape. The performance of these tapes was assessed by measuring their breaking strength, degree of elongation under ...

Tissue adhesives for closure of surgical incisions

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2014
Sutures (stitches), staples and adhesive tapes have been used for many years as methods of wound closure, but tissue adhesives have entered clinical practice more recently. Closure of wounds with sutures enables the closure to be meticulous, but the sutures may show tissue reactivity and can require removal.

Surgical Goniosynechialysis for Angle-closure Glaucoma

Ophthalmology, 1990
Fifteen patients with synechial angle-closure glaucoma uncontrolled by medical and laser therapy were treated with surgical goniosynechialysis. Five patients were treated with goniosynechialysis alone, and ten were treated with goniosynechialysis in combination with other surgical procedures. The procedure was successful, in terms of reducing synechiae,

Surgical Closure of the Larynx for Intractable Aspiration

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1980
Surgical closure of the glottis is reserved for patients who have suffered progressive loss of sphincteric and phonatory laryngeal function. In the prevention of life-threatening aspiration, a triple-layer closure is performed with use of a superiorly based sternohyoid muscle flap.
