Histology and fertility after microsurgical anastomosis of the rabbit fallopian tube with nylon and polyglactin sutures

Polyglactin and nylon suture material were compared in microsurgical anastomosis of oviduct of rabbits with regard to the histologic reaction, adhesion formation, and nidation index. Thirty days after surgery, the tissue inflammatory response was very similar in both groups. At 90days, polyglactin h...

Summary:Polyglactin and nylon suture material were compared in microsurgical anastomosis of oviduct of rabbits with regard to the histologic reaction, adhesion formation, and nidation index. Thirty days after surgery, the tissue inflammatory response was very similar in both groups. At 90days, polyglactin had been totally absorbed in 80% of the cases, and no inflammatory reaction persisted at the site of the suture. At this time, multinucleated giant cell reaction to nylon sutures was persistent but minimal. The results reveal no significant functional differences between oviduct reanastomosed with nylon versus polyglactin suture. No significant difference in subsequent fertility due to suture selection was demonstrated.
