    Background:

    • Collagen is vital for surgical outcomes, historically dominated by catgut sutures.
    • Synthetic materials have increasingly replaced traditional suture materials.
    • Intestinal wound healing relies on epithelial repair over submucosal collagen.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the role of collagen in surgical wound healing.
    • To explore the potential of collagen-based biomaterials.
    • To compare collagen with synthetic materials in surgical applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on collagen and synthetic suture materials.
    • Analysis of experimental data on collagen applications in dogs.
    • Evaluation of surgical techniques and mechanical devices.
