title: Adhesion formation to incisional abdominal wound in response to polyamide "6" and polyglactin "910" sutures.
abstract: Frequency of adhesion formation to laparotomy wound scar in response to absorbable and non-absorbable synthetic sutures and closure technique was studied. Polyglactin "910" (synthetic absorbable) and polyamide "6" (synthetic non-absorbable) sutures were compared employing both mass and layered closure technique. Layered closure with polyglactin "910" closure developed maximum number of adhesions to laparotomy scar.
