Comparative analysis of non-absorbable 10-0 nylon sutures with absorbable 10-0 Vicryl sutures in pediatric cataract surgery
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to compare the efficiency as well as the rate and type of suture-related complications between 10-0 monofilament nylon (Aurolab Nylon Sutures, double arm, Aurolab) and 10-0 polyglactin 910 sutures (Vicryl, single arm, Aurolab) for pediatric cataract surgery.

| description | Purpose: The purpose of the study is to compare the efficiency as well as the rate and type of suture-related complications between 10-0 monofilament nylon (Aurolab Nylon Sutures, double arm, Aurolab) and 10-0 polyglactin 910 sutures (Vicryl, single arm, Aurolab) for pediatric cataract surgery. Methods: It is a prospective, comparative study performed in children who underwent surgery for congenital or developmental cataract from March 2013 to February 2016. Patients underwent suturing with either nylon or Vicryl in unilateral cases, but in most bilateral surgeries, one eye received Vicryl sutures while the other eye received nylon. The sutures were compared for their complications and the need for suture removal. Results: Forty-one children (72 eyes) were included in the study, of which 31 children (62 eyes) underwent bilateral surgery while 10 (10 eyes) underwent unilateral surgery. Sixty-four nylon sutures were placed in 32 children (34 eyes), of which 22 (34.4%) were removed due to suture-related complications, whereas 14 (19.7%) (P = 0.03) of the 71 Vicryl sutures placed in 32 children (38 eyes) needed suture removal at an average of 2.9 weeks with the earliest at 6 days postoperatively. The odds of Vicryl suture being removed was 0.42 times with respect to nylon. The most common reason encountered for suture removal in both the materials was sutures becoming loose (16.3%), followed by vascularization (14.1%), infiltration (1.5%), and opacification (4.4%). Conclusion: Absorbable suture such as 10-0 Vicryl is preferred over nonabsorbable suture 10-0 nylon for suturing incisions in pediatric cataract surgery, to avoid subjecting the child to repeated anesthesia. |
