Anatomohistological aspects of suture in tongue with polyglecaprone 25, nylon and simple categut in rats

Abstract

The present study analyzed the reaction of 4-0 nylon thread, 4-0 simple categut and 4-0 polyglecaprone 25 in suture of tongue of the rats. Eight wistar female rats were used in each group of the rats. The animal under anesthetic, made incision of 1.0 cm, glossotomy in the medial line tongue. In the groups of wires 4- 0 nylon, 4-0 simple categut and 4-0 polyglecaprone 25 groups the glossoraphia with separate points has been performed. The resurgery followed the chronogram of 3, 6, 12 and 24 days under the same technical surgical to make the glossectomy and to send for to histhological analysis. The surgical procedure was evaluated dehiscense, exudate and edema.The three groups showed similar reaction. In the third DAO (Days-After-Operation) it was found the wire without granulation. In the sixth DAO it was found the rest of ulcer and scab in all groups. In the tenth second showed completed scar in group nylon and incompleted in the groups simple categut and polyglecaprone 25. In the twentieth-fouth DAO the scab was completed in all groups. All wires used showed inflammatory reaction with ulcer, without granulation. The use of simple categut is advisable, because in sixth day-after-operation the thread was absorbed.
