Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare macroscopically suture patterns with catgut thread on intestinal suture used in rabbits. Ten adult, male, New Zealand rabbits were used. In each animal two longitudinal incisions of 3,0cm were made in small intestine, equidistant one from the other 10,0cm. The cranial incision was repaired with extramucous Swift-like suture and the caudal incision was repaired with simple continuous pattern including mucosa and the second with Cushing, both protected by omentum. After ten days postoperative was observed in Swift-like suture lower stenosis and advanced cicatricial process. It was therefore concluded that the extramucous Swift-like suture can be safety recommended in intestinal surgeries.
