摘要
Suture-related complications can occur in response to a patient's immune system activation regardless of surgical site. However, there is minimal literature describing complications related to commonly used Polydek sutures. We report the diagnosis, treatment, and follow up of four cases of Polydek suture-related complications post-eyelid lateral tarsal strip procedures, including an early wound healing problem/infection and later granuloma formation and/or suture extrusion that only resolved after removal of the Polydek suture or granuloma tissue. Use of non-Polydek sutures may reduce the likelihood for post-operative suture complications.
