Superiority of synthetic absorbable sutures over catgut suture in obstetric and gynecology surgeries evidence based review
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 7
Abstract
Some perineal trauma has been reported in more than 85% of women having a vaginal birth. In the UK and US, spontaneous tears requiring suturing are estimated to occur in at least one-third of women. Perineal trauma may result in long-term physical and psychological problems. Despite a high birth rate in India, maternal morbidity due to high rates of episiotomy are grossly underreported and needs to be addressed at different levels such as restricted use of episiotomy procedures, enhancing skill of health-care professionals and implementation of evidence-based approach for training on globally acceptable surgical procedures to minimize episiotomy-associated complications. This review summarizes evidences available to support use of synthetic absorbable sutures over catgut sutures for episiotomy.
