title: [Choice of suture material for surgery of female and male sterility. Is there an all-purpose suture?].
abstract: In the field of infertility, surgeons choose their sutures according some criteria: handling, absence of side effects and toxicity for the tissues, adequate sterilization, availability in adequate calibers with needles suitable for the structures of Fallopian tube, vas deferens and epididymis. Today, it seems that Polyglactine 910 (treated and gained Vicryl*) is perfectly adapted to all the anatomical situations and can be selected as the "unique" suture for sterility surgery (calibers 7 X 0 or 8 X 0). Our opinion is based on: Experimental findings coming from a personal work concerning 60 anastomosis on the uterine horn of the female rate. Critical analysis of previous experimentations done by other authors. The results of our personal practice in more of 1.400 salpingoplasties and 150 operations in the seminal genital ductus.
