Connection of human body tissues: surgical and cosmetic suture

Do you remember in childhood how proud we were of our seams before our peers and how timidly looked at strangers stitches? Yes, the seams were an occasion for pride: for guys - a positive indicator for girls, for girls - an indicator of smartness and insanity. Some have hidden their seams, because of the history of their appearance or their own prejudices. At that time it was difficult, because the doctors constantly made ordinary sutures (surgical) and had to rely only on the skill, mood and often soberness of the doctor. Surprisingly, some people still had a cosmetic suture, but they were not the last people in the state.

Nowadays, the cosmetic suture is more a question of money than of specialists. There are a large number of clinics, beauty centers and other medical institutions, which for some amount of money will do truly miracles. A seam is a joining of fabrics by a method of sewing (staples or thread). There are two main types of sutures: cosmetic and surgical. The first are made for aesthetic beauty - they do not have visual visibility. The second - the usual stitches, which leave behind a trace. Surgical sutures can be made by hand or by machines (special devices). Also surgical sutures are divided into external and internal by location.

If surgical sutures can be both external and internal, then the cosmetic suture is only external. Agree that it does not make sense to pay rabid money for a seam that will not be available to the survey. Sutures are also conditionally different in severity. If the wound is not complicated and without complications (putrefaction, internal injuries ...), the seam is applied immediately. If the wound is of a complex nature, the seam may be temporary. Such stitches are imposed in two cases:

• If it is necessary to tighten the wound for the first time (in case of emergency);
• If it is necessary to visually observe the course of healing.

In the first case, the surgical suture is tightened tightly, the time is completely removed and the operation is performed. In the second - the seam is not fully tightened, after the normalization of the state it becomes permanent - completely tightened. Also surgical sutures can be removable, resorbable and lifelong. Removable stitches are typical stitches, when after healing a thread is pulled out to the patient and a scar with traces remains. Dissolving seams - this is when the thread consists of a special material, which itself disappears. Lifetime - seams, imposed from non-absorbable material and remaining with you for life. Removable stitches are used in mass application, except for internal sewing. Dissolving sutures are often used as cosmetic, but sometimes to connect tissues of internal organs (so as not to interfere with the thread of normal life). Lifelong sutures are used only for suturing internal organs (if this does not interfere with their performance or when there is no other possibility).

In order for the cosmetic suture to be ideal, it is necessary to perform delicate and complex work. If in the case of a surgical suture, the doctor punctures the skin completely, which is what the scar provides, then the cosmetic layer is superimposed differently. This seam is done only in the epidermis of the skin. The skin is known to have a fairly good healing ability. This means that everything that happens to the skin within the epidermis is corrected by regeneration. Remember how many times you fell or were scratched about something (or about someone). Surely you have no traces left, if again - not a deep wound.

Rarely, but there is a situation when the seam breaks off after the operation. For many, this is a subject of tremendous panic and jim. In fact, this situation is possible if your body has a low survival rate or that of a certain organ (or meta). It is also possible, if you gave power to the stitched seat. In practice, such situations are divided into two types:

• The seam broke after a short time;
• The seam has parted after a long time.

In the first case, you are likely to be still in the hospital. Therefore, all you need is not to panic, but to call a doctor or nurse. In the second case - the situation is also not so terrible. As a rule, underlayer tissues heal, and only the skin layer diverges. This is certainly not aesthetically pleasing, but it is not deadly either. You need to go to the hospital or call an ambulance. Often such cases occur in the mothers who gave birth. In such cases, when going back to the maternity hospital or a local hospital, doctors are often denied help because of different responsibilities. Therefore, the solution to this problem can be one of two options:

• Initially agree with the doctor (and give a bribe);
• Go to the plastic or go to the hospital for money.
