Abstract. Background: Absorbable sutures are not generally accepted by most vascular surgeons for the fear of breakage of the suture line and the risk of aneurysmal formation, except in cases of paediatric surgery or in case of infections. Aim of this study is to provide evidence of safety and efficacy of the use of absorbable suture materials in carotid surgery. Patients and methods: In an 11 year period, 1126 patients (659 male [58.5 %], 467 female [41.5 %], median age 72) underwent carotid endarterectomy for carotid stenosis by either conventional with primary closure (cCEA) or eversion (eCEA) techniques. Patients were randomised into two groups according to the type of suture material used. In Group A, absorbable suture material (polyglycolic acid) was used and in Group B non-absorbable suture material (polypropylene) was used. Primary end-point was to compare severe restenosis and aneurysmal formation rates between the two groups of patients. For statistical analysis only cases with a minimum period of follow-up of 12 months were considered. Results: A total of 868 surgical procedures were considered for data analysis. Median follow-up was 6 years (range 1-10 years). The rate of postoperative complications was better for group A for both cCEA and eCEA procedures: 3.5 % and 2.0 % for group A, respectively, and 11.8 % and 12.9 % for group B, respectively. Conclusions: In carotid surgery, the use of absorbable suture material seems to be safe and effective and with a general lower complications rate compared to the use of non-absorbable materials.

BACKGROUND Intestinal anastomosis is an operative procedure that is of importance in the practice of surgery. It is a very commonly performed technique in today’s surgical era. We wanted to study the postoperative complications like anastomotic leak and abscess formation and duration of hospital stay in single layer and double layer anastomosis and compare the same. METHODS In our prospective observational study, 80 patients were reviewed and were divided into 2 groups. Cases were allotted to either group based on the odd even method requiring single- and double-layer anastomosis, odd being single layer and even being double layer anastomosis. Intestinal anastomosis was carried out in single layer technique with delayed absorbable suture material and double layer technique with inner transmural layer with delayed absorbable suture material and seromuscular layer with non-absorbable suture material. RESULTS Each group had 40 patients, there was significant difference noted between the groups. Mean duration of hospital stay in single layer group was 17.85 ± 7.62 days and in double layer group was 26.20 ± 16.12 days (P = 0.043 *). In single group, mean time taken for anastomosis was 18.50 ± 1.73 and in double group was 29.05 ± 2.19. There was significant difference in time taken between two groups (P < 0.001). In single group, majority of subjects had no anastomotic Leak (95 %) and 5 % had leak. In double group 70 % had no leak and 30 % had leak. P value was statistically significant (P = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS Single layer anastomosis was better in terms of duration of hospital stay, postoperative anastomotic leaks and time taken for anastomosis.
