[Our experience in urologic surgery with a new polyglycolic acid (Darvin)].
Catgut chromic has long been used as an absorbable suture and recently polyglycolic acid has been used widely as a suturing material causing minor tissue reaction. The aim of this study is to consider the bioavailability of a new absorbable suture which is a modified polyglycolic acid: Darvin. We considered 10 consecutive patients surgically treated for a bladder disease. They were cystoscopically followed 30 and 90 days after surgery. We noted a complete integration of the suture material in the bladder wall and no side reactions of the bladder.
