Abstract:
The selection of suturing techniques and suture materials is a common problem in general surgery. In 2008,the Chinse Society of Surgery of Chinese Medical Association draw up the first edition of The Chinese Consensus Statement on General surgical suture technique and suture material. In the last ten years, it has appeared antibacterial sutures, drug elution lines, barbed lines, anti-leakage needles, stabresistant needles, bio-3D staplers in suture materials, which promoted the development of general surgery. At the same time, with the advancement of surgical techniques and the application of laparoscopic and robotic surgery, suture techniques such as triangular anastomosis and nondisconnected Roux-en-Y anastomosis have appeared. This article reviews the progress of new suture materials, introduces the achievements of suturing technique in general surgery, and discusses the significance of the 2018 edition of The Chinese Consensus Statement on General Surgical Suture Technique and Suture Material.
