Comparitive study of incidence of incisional hernia in tubectemy scar with absorbable versus non absorbable suture.

AIMS:– To compare the incidence of incisional hernia after tubectemy in cases of closure with absorbable suture versus non absorbable suture.

SETTING:– Teaching hospital,Hyderabad,Telangana state.

METHODS AND MATERIAL:– 107 patiens who underwent tubectemy between Feb 2007 and Dec 2009 .Out of 107 cases,52 cases are closed with absorbable suture and 55 cases are closed with non absorbable suture.All the cases were followed for a period of 3 years and were subjected to USG of abdomen to rule out incisional hernia.

RESULTS:– out of 52 cases (Group A),6 cases got incisional hernia and out of 55 cases (Group B) only 2 cases have shown incisional hernia.

CONCLUSION:–Incidence of incisional hernia is less in cases where incision is closed with non absorbable suture.
