“…47 In a comparison study of suture materials in the feline oral cavity, PDS was found to be intact at day 28. 49 Similar to Vicryl Plus, an antibacterial version of PDS, PDS Plus (PDS Plus, Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, NJ), has recently been introduced. PDS is useful in wounds where a long healing time and extended tensile strength are required.…”

“…Gabapentin is often used in human medicine following spinal surgery to assist in postoperative analgesia, and it has been surmised that this information may be transferable to veterinary medicine, although clear guidelines in this regard are lacking. 17 PDS suture was used in preference to surgical wire (as described in the first publication of this technique) because this allows enough tension to facilitate bone fusion 18 without interfering with visualisation in case of follow-up imaging with CT or MR was required. Non-absorbable but non-metallic suture could potentially have been used as an alternative.…”

The aims of this study were to describe the surgical procedure, and procedure-related postoperative outcomes after dorsal axis laminotomy. Ten client-owned dogs with neurological signs due to pathology within the vertebral canal at the level of the axis were reviewed (2009–2018). Patients underwent dorsal laminotomy using a modification of the originally described technique. The axis dorsal lamina was repositioned and secured using absorbable suture material. Eight dogs had improved neurological function; one dog had static function while one dog was euthanased secondary to proposed persistence of the primary myelopathy. Postoperative radiographs confirmed maintained anatomic reduction and early bone healing in two dogs, one-year postoperative radiographs and one-month and two-year postoperative CT confirmed osteosynthesis in one dog each. Medium/long-term (4–82 months) follow-up was reported in seven dogs. Mortality in this case series was 10 per cent. Delayed union of the laminotomy flap is a complication associated with this technique.

Experimentations on animals have been performed in order to verify the applicability of the slowly resorbable suturing material Polydioxanon (PDS) in the transposition of ligaments in general and the transposition of cruciate ligaments in particular. After six weeks, the absorption of a twisted cord of 2 mm diameter still has a traction tolerance of 58%. The experimentations made on rabbits and sheep suggest that PDS can be used to fasten ligament sutures and to reinforce ligament grafts. Under extremely favorable soft tissue conditions, the substance can even be used as ligament substitute. Good clinical results can be achieved in the problematic plastic surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament if the reinforcement of the autologous transplant is performed with PDS in the sense of an augmentation graft.
