  • Title: [A study of uterine adhesions following suturing of the uterus with catgut or Vicryl in cesarean sections in cattle].
    Author: De Wit F, Raymakers R, Westerbeek J, Mijten P, De Kruif A.
    Journal: Tijdschr Diergeneeskd; 1993 Aug 01; 118(15):478-9. PubMed ID: 8367842.
    Abstract:
    A caesarean section was performed in 202 cows for the first time. The uterus of 103 of these cows was sutured with Vicryl (7 metric) and the uterus of 99 cows was sutured with plain catgut (9 metric). The cows were randomly allotted to the two groups. All cows were rectally examined to diagnose adhesions between the uterus and the surrounding tissue five weeks post partum. Adhesions were found in 50% of the cases. There were no differences in the number of adhesions and the severity of the adhesions between the catgut and the Vicryl group (Table 1).
