A comparison of staples and nylon closure in varicose vein surgery.

R Lennihan, M Mackereth.   

Abstract

This report describes our experience at wound closure using metallic staples and nylon sutures in 150 patients undergoing elective ligation and stripping for varicose veins. We compared the two methods for speed of closure and wound complications. Closure by Auto Suture is delightfully quick. Fewer patients developed complications from the staples as judged by wound sepsis, separation of the incision and keloid formation.
