The aim of this study was to measure the immediate pull-out strengths by increasing the number of suture loops and to compare the immediate pull-out strengths of three different suturing techniques. In one group, the number of suture loops increased from 2 to 9 and the suturing technique of multiple loops through the proximal ligament stumps was used. The other group, the three different techniques were transverse, vertical, and criss-cross suture. The ultimate strength for the 2 loops was 16.62 (+/-6.7)N, for the 3 loops was 34.45 (+/-12.5)N, for the 4 loops was 54.80 (+/-17.7)N, for the 5 loops was 74.30 (+/-21.4)N, for the 6 loops was 102.49 (+/-13.5)N, for the 7 loops was 105.05 (+/-24.8)N, for the 8 loops was 129.50 (+/-76.1)N, for the 9 loops was 229.50 (+/-48.7)N. The transverse suture had a mean ultimate strength of 47.38 (+/-14.8)N, where-as the vertical suture failed at 76.94 (+/-26.4)N and the criss-cross suture at 101.82 (+/-25.7)N. Consequently, their strength can be improved by increasing the number of loops and we suggest that the criss-cross suture technique is reliable method for clinical use, because of high failure strength and wider apposition area of bone to ligament.

While various surgical methods are used for inverted nipple correction, an optimal technique has not been established. We describe a combination of suture methods including purse-string sutures, based on a report by Gould et al. This is a simple and safe method for inverted nipple correction.

5.Study on the Diameter of Surgical Suture in Standards.
Chinese Journal of Medical Instrumentation 2019;43(5):369-371
Surgical suture is a common medical device made extensive use of hold body tissues together after an injury or surgery. Suture sizes are associated with the requirement of diameter and tensile strength in standard. They correspond with one by one. Suture sizes should be unified, standardized and correctly marked for correct and convenient selection in surgery. Using the average diameter of single suture is more scientific and reasonable than that of multiple sutures in marking.

Skin closure is the surgeon's final operation technique. Although there have been many descriptions about the different kinds of sutures, the report on a 'three-point suture' were quite limited to the horizontal half buried suture technique up till now. The three-point suture can be met frequently in cases like irregular laceration, V-Y advancement flap, and reduction mammaplasty. Authors came up with and thereby introduce a more secure and convenient three-point suture technique, which proved to be superior to the horizontal half buried suture technique in that it gives a better skin approximation and eversion. It can also be applied to a multi- point suture such as a four-point suture or a five-point suture and a three-point mattress suture.

The repair of esophageal atresia with a long gap still continues to pose difficulties for the surgeon. There is general agreement that the child's own esophagus is best, but it is also believed that a primary repair is not always possible. Foker JE et al. (1997) developed a technique of esophageal lengthening using external traction sutures. We experienced one case of esophageal atresia with a 4.5cm gap (4 vertebral spaces) which was repaired using the external traction suture technique.

9.Surgically Induced Astigmatism According to Corneoscleral Incision Length and Suture Methods After Cataract Surgery.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1995;36(1):21-25
We analyzed corneal astigmatic change on patients after phacoemulsification with scleral pocket incision, according to incision length and suture methods. The patients were divided into 4 groups and followed up at least for 2 months. The four groups were 5.5 mm incision length with horizontal suture technique group, 5.5 mm incision length with sutureless technique group, 6.5 mm - 7.0 mm incision length with horizontal suture technique group and 6.5 mm - 7.0 mm incision length withsutureless technique group. Inall groups, there was slightly increasing tendency of against the rule astigmatism, but less than 0.54 D(average). Among the patients with 5.5 mm incision length, horizontal suture group had almost the same astigmatic change as sutureless group(p=0.44, t-test), and with horizontal suture technique, 5.5 mm group had a tendency of less astigmatic change than 6.5 - 7.0 mm group(p=0.087, t-test), but without statistical significance.

PURPOSE: The author performed this experimental study to investigate the changes in the tensile strength of a new insertion following a superior rectus recession in a rabbit's eye. METHODS: Conventional superior rectus muscle recession procedures with the hang-back suture technique were performed on New Zealand white rabbits (body weight 2~3kg), after which the disinsertional force was measured using a digital tension gauge on the 3rd, 5th, and 7th days, and then weekly for up to 8 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS: The postoperative disinsertional forces were as follows: 38.25 +/- 2.75, 165 +/- 31.27, and 167.25 +/- 26.99 g at the 3rd , 5th and 7th days, and 211.00 +/- 25.66, 222.75 +/- 26.66, 255.25 +/- 24.51, 271.50 +/- 38.25, 429.50 +/- 21.14 g at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th and 8th weeks respectively. The disinsertional forces linearly increased with the postoperative time period and there was a strong correlation with correlation coefficient being 0.903. CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that musculoscleral adhesion with hang-back suture maintained enough strength in early postoperative time period.
