[Experimental evaluation of the possibility of fixing uterine sutures after cesarean section using polymer materials]
Abstract:
An experimental study in 20 pregnant female rabbits was carried out in order to evaluate possible use of biocompatible connective elements and cyanacrylate glue MK-7M for fixing and sealing the uterine scar at cesarean section. Morphologic changes in the surgical area within three postoperative months have been demonstrated. Combined use of biocompatible connective elements and cyanacrylate glue by an original technique is shown to be conducive to the fixation and sealing of the uterine scar as well as its adequate healing. Connective elements have no adverse systemic effects and undergo biodestruction after 3 postoperative months.
