This paper studied the irreversible plastic deformation of PVDF monofilament. The four-element creep model was applied to obtain the theoretical creep curves with experimental data using nonlinear regression. The results were compared to the commonly used material PP monofilament. The results showed that four-element model was a suitable model to describe the creep behavior of PVDF monofilament. PVDF monofilament exhibited reduced irreversible plastic deformation under different stresses and elongation rates. It was more stable and recoverable. PVDF could be an advantageous alternative suture material to the traditional suture materials.

The main method of joining the wound edges in surgery remains suturing with the help of threads. Unfortunately, suture materials used in surgery have a number of disadvantages. The percentage of postoperative wound complications remains high. One of these consequences is the failure of the seam, depending also on the material used in the operation. Suture material, as a genetically alien object, that is a foreign body, with a long stay in the tissues can lead to the development of complications: causes suppuration of wounds, formation of abscesses, peritonitis. Materials and methods: The analysis of modern Russian-language and foreign literature, also Internet sources devoted to the issue of issues and modern developments of antiseptic suture material. As a result, the choice and development of an ideal suture material that meets all the requirements, remains an unsolved and socially significant problem in surgery. Despite the variety of variations already offered, there is currently no suture material with antimicrobial activity on the market that would fully reduce the risk of developing infections in the surgical area. But the achievements of modern chemical production make it possible to develop biologically active suture materials that have the ability to resist the development of infectious complications in a wound and improve tissue regeneration without adversely affecting the body. In addition, the analysis showed an increased interest of developers to chitosan, due to its exceptional biocompatibility, bioresorbability, non-toxicity, antibacterial properties and hemostaticity.

Background: Incisional hernia is due to failure of lines of closure of abdominal wall following laparotomy. Bowel or a part of bowel or omentum can bulge through the gap. The early occurrence (within 5 years) is mainly due to early sepsis and obesity. Objective of present study was to assess the factors contributing for the occurrence of incisional hernia.Methods: All the women who were operated between March 2014-December 2016 using a low transverse Pfannenstiel incision and who did not have any other lower (vertical) incisions and laparoscopic surgeries were followed up in the outpatient department. 1,252 cases were followed up during the above-mentioned period and the detail history was elicited and meticulous physical examination was conducted. USG Abdomen was done in all the cases. Out of 1,252 cases 25 were having incisional hernia and mesh repair was done for incisional hernia.Results: Nearly 2% of these cases had incisional hernia. Obesity was the main risk factor in 36% of the study participants followed by wound infection in 32%.Conclusions: Obesity, redo surgeries, size of the incision and type of suture materials used contribute to the formation of incisional hernia. Although the incidence is low still incisional hernia can occur following Pfannenstiel low transverse abdominal incision.
