Maxon sutureFrom: Diane Petersen (peter261@gold.tc.umn.edu)Wed Jul 26 16:21:47 2000
My partner recently did a TAH/BSO on a patient that presented to the ER with acute abdominal pain. Degenerating leiomyomata suspected pre-op and confirmed at histologic examination. Patient also diagnosed at admission with diabetes mellitus. At 5 days post-op when removing the skin staples, complete dehiscence was diagnosed. During the subsequent repair, the Maxon suture that had been used to close the fascia was found to be pieces (like it just immediately started to degrade and fall apart). Does anyone have a similar experience with Maxon suture?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
