Re: One layer uterine closureFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Tue Sep 5 11:45:39 2006
Thanks for the reference in Telinde. I have one colleague who still uses chromic for episiotomies and C/S. I'll send him a copy of the page. Ronald E.

According to Christopher's Text of Surgery, there is no place for the use of catgut in the human. This is because of its' enormous inflammatory response. Plain catgut is totally absorbed in 70 days at the expense of the most significant inflammatory reaction. This is why we are foolish to use plain gut for reperitonealization. Chromic has essentially the same absorption pattern as polyglycolic (read vicryl/monocryl) but with a significant tissue reaction. Tensile strength, however lasts longer. To again quote the latest edition of Telinde, Seventh Edition. p.232, "...Catgut should not be routinely used in gynecologic surgery. Indeed, there remains little indication for the use of catgut in any gynecologic procedure." sAm -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Raymond Stephen Sent: Monday, September 04, 2006 7:26 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: One layer uterine closure 1. Catgut is absorbed faster - often an advantage. 2. Catgut is somewhat stiffer so it stands up when you are trying to find an end to tie. 3. Catgut is somewhat smoother than Vicryl These are reasons to use catgut. That doesn't mean I don't like Vicryl but it has its place.

But what I know, is that the US government was quite ready to ban blood donors if they just set foot down in Europe. What I also know is that (bio-)chemistry doesn't lie. And, when paying attention a bit, I usually don't tear it through the muscle. So, why use catgut (and/or chromic)? el

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.
