As long as medicine has subsisted, wound closure has existed. When assessing a surgical wound, physicians are more than ever confronted with various sutures and other closure materials. The surgeon must choose the most appropriate material for that specific closure because not one substance is perfect in all circumstances. The history of suturing wounds is intertwined with the history of surgery. Wound suturing is a critical component of wound therapy, including suturing materials and techniques.Suturing has been practiced for thousands of years. Although suture materials and techniques have changed, the goals like closing dead space, supporting and strengthening wounds until healing increases their tensile strength, approximating skin edges for an aesthetically pleasing and functional result, and reducing the risk of bleeding and infection remain the same.Traditional skin closure with sutures requires time and effort, creates an unsightly scar, and requires infection removal. In this modern era, patients find it appealing when the operated location has a decent cosmetic appearance. The quicker, more comfortable, and most aesthetically pleasing method of skin closure is what surgeons are searching for. Assessing whether newer methods are superior to sutures and staples is necessary. Better cosmesis, flexibility, water resistance, painless sealed skin closure, and ease of application are all advantages of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate. This article aims to provide an overview of the critical characteristics of traditional sutures, common suture materials, sticky glue, and staples, as well as additional closure materials.
The most common metastasis sites of malignant stromal tumors are the liver, peritoneum, lung, and bones. Metastasis to the breast is extremely rare. Therefore, this is a very rare combination. Both being primary concomitantly is a further rare combination. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and other primary carcinomas in the same patient are not unusual, and they are frequently discovered by chance. GISTs are uncommon mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI) system. There is a scarcity of information on the prevalence of mesenchymal tumors and other primary tumors in the literature. Therefore, more studies are required to establish the same. Concomitant GISTs accompany the most prevalent epithelial malignancies of the gastrointestinal system. More research is needed to shed insight into the molecular and genetic pathways of GIST and synchronous tumor oncogenesis and progression. This case report brings to light a synchronous double tumor of the breast and gastrointestinal stroma.
Situs inversus is a scarce congenital anomaly. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a mirroring of the normal. Thoracic and abdominal viscera transposition is a characteristic feature of situs inversus. It is considered to be a premalignant condition. This uncommon genetic disorder is often identified incidentally during thoracic and abdominal imaging. The coexistence of SIT and gastric cancer is rare. Because this anomaly is known to have associated anatomical and vascular anomalies, due care is required to identify it preoperatively and during the surgical procedure. At centers with prior experience, consistent with oncological practices, open surgeries, laparoscopic surgeries, and robotic surgeries can be done.We present a patient with a stomach adenocarcinoma with SIT who underwent distal gastrectomy with gastrojejunostomy along with resection and anastomosis of the transverse colon and capecitabin-oxaliplatin chemotherapy. The postoperative course was favorable. To our knowledge, only 13 cases of diffuse-type gastric cancer in a patient with SIT have been reported in the English-language literature.
Background: A surgeon's signature is 'scar' [1]. On a regular basis, surgeons face various kinds of wounds which must be healed. The healing process and cosmetic result can be influenced by wound and incision closure techniques. The Goal of this Research is to Compare 3 Skin Closure Techniques: conventional skin sutures, adhesive glue, surgical stapler. These methods will be used to determine which of them is superior in terms of wound healing and cosmetic outcome in clean elective surgeries. Objectives: To compare duration between closure by 3 methods. To compare prices amongst the 3 methods. A comparison of the cosmetic appearances of the skin after closure. A comparison of post-operative pain between the 3 methods. To assess surgical site infections after closure with these 3 methods Methodology: 90 patients, undergoing clean elective surgeries, will be included in this study. 30 patients will be included in every group. Hospitalised under Department of General Surgery in Datta Meghe Institute Of Medical Sciences, Wardha. The study will be conducted between October 2020 to October 2022. Results: The result would be undertaken in SPSS software. Conclusion: Conclusion will be based on findings of study protocol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
