Sutures Used In a Hysterectomy Posted: 08-24-04 12:09pm
The sutures for the layers of a
hysterectomy are used by doctor prefence
but I can tell you a generally what is
used.
The facia is closed with an 0-vicryl or
1-pds
the sub-q fat is sometimes closed with 3-0
vicryl
and the skin is either stapled or closed
with 4-0 vicryl or monocryl
if you need more info please ask about
specific layers or structures
there is alot of suture used in a
hysterectomy .
