Clinical study of resorbable surgical sutures. A suggestion

: There has been attempted in the Institute of Surgery, Wroclaw Medical School, in 1975 the clinica study with the purpose of comparative evaluation of two kinds of tissue-resorbable surgical sutures, namely catgut and polyglycolic acid threads. To standardize the basic methods of clinical examination to be followed by teams of experts, basing on literature data and own experience, a proposition was elaborated including indications and methods of choosing the groups of resorbable and non-resorbable threads, aseptic demands, and intraoperative, postoperative and laboratory examinations.
