A comparative study between fast absorbing polyglactin 910 vs chromic catgut in episiotomy wound repair

Background: The aim of our study was to compare rapidly absorbing polyglactin 910 with chromic catgut as a suture material for episiotomy repair, in relation to post episiotomy complications and maternal morbidity.Methods: This prospective, randomized, comparative study of rapidly absorbing polyglactin 910 versus chromic catgut for episiotomy repair was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, PBM hospital, associated with Sardar Patel medical college Bikaner, Rajasthan.Results: RAPG-910 was associated with significantly lesser analgesic dose requirement for pain relief than chromic catgut. Use of chromic catgut was associated with a higher incidence of hematoma formation, wound gaping, need of re-suturing of wound and need of re-admissions for management of post-episiotomy complications than RAPG-910 although, the difference was statistically insignificant. RAPG-910 was associated with better wound condition & healing as compared to chromic catgut.Conclusions:To conclude, rapidly absorbing polyglactin 910 was better than chromic catgut in relation to post episiotomy complications and maternal morbidity with a significantly lesser incidence and severity of post episiotomy pain, lesser dose of analgesia required, lesser wound gaping and infection, better wound healing, faster suture reabsorption.

Significant Difference

Background: The choice of suture material for repair of episiotomy or perineal laceration is largely of one’s personal preference. Chromic catgut was widely used in most institutions. It now appears that chromic catgut is associated with more postpartum discomfort and hence chromic catgut has been largely replaced by synthetic absorbable materials like polyglactin and polyglycolic acid.Methods: The study was conducted in Institute of Social Obstetrics and Government Kasturba Gandhi Hospital, Chennai. This is a prospective, comparative study involving two groups. The use of a rapidly absorbing form of synthetic absorbable suture material, in the repair of episiotomy or perineal laceration in 100 patients during the study period February 2012 to July 2012, were simultaneously compared with the traditional natural absorbable suture material.Results: With the use of rapidly absorbing polyglactin 910, there was a significant reduction (p=0.000) in the short-term pain, 19 compared to 80 in the control group. With regard to wound dehiscence and the need for resuturing, there was statistically significant difference in the control group (15%) compared to the study group (0%). There was no statistical significance between the two groups in terms of dyspareunia (12.4% vs 10.7%).Conclusions: Fast-absorbing form of Polyglactin seems to be effective in reducing some of the morbidity associated with perineal repair following childbirth. There was significant reduction in the short-term pain and the need for analgesia. The incidence of wound dehiscence was markedly reduced.

Background: Wound treatment still a task for medical professionals, according to the time advancement. We need to elaborate further new interventions to cope up this common factor of community. The objective of the study was to assess the anti-inflammatory topical role of Lactobacillus acidophilus with antibiotic in wound repair of rats based on of microscopic parameters. This comparative study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy Al-Tibri Medical Collage and Hospital Isra University Karachi Campus from December 2018 to April 2019.Methods: Total 18 male of wistar rats were randomly selected for this study. The study comprised of three topical groups Control, Antibiotic and Lactobacillus acidophilus groups respectively.Results: The samples were taken from the wound site for the preparation of microscopic slides, to count the numbers of neutrophils, lymphocytes and macrophages for the evaluation of anti-inflammatory process in both groups on day 3 and 7. Data obtained were analyzed by SPSS version 20 by applying One Way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey’s test.Conclusions: The results were shown potent anti-inflammatory effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus group in comparison with other conventional therapy. The study concludes that the topical application of Lactobacillus acidophilus had remarkable anti-inflammatory effects in wound management.
