Description
Sandesh Parelkar and six co-authors test whether cut suture ends can be left safely inside the belly during children's keyhole surgery, in this 2026 rat study. Retrieving every snipped end costs time in long operations. The team placed ends of three suture types inside eighteen rats and checked the reaction after four weeks.
No rat sickened or died. Adhesions formed most with braided non-absorbable thread, in four of six rats, against two of six for braided absorbable thread and none for smooth non-absorbable thread. The authors conclude braided ends should preferably be removed, while other cut ends can be left behind safely. That would save time and effort in advanced laparoscopic surgery. They call for tissue studies to quantify the reactions.
