Methods 180 esophagectomies were performed using continuous mucosal anastomosis with absorbable suture plus interrupted seromuscular to muscular suture.
Methods The new method uses the 3-0 absorbable suture, sutures deeply and intermittently, and implants the suture to close the exceed dissection lacune.
There are other areas of the body or certain situations where we want the stitches to dissolve and those dissolvable stitches or absorbable stitches are made out of either synthetic polymers or they're made out of animal intestines.
