Effectiveness of delayed suturing for closing traumatic wounds in emergency services
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-07-22) Acosta Torato, Gino Gilber; Tacilla Tocas, Elmer Obet; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: To establish the efficacy of delayed suture versus immediate suture for the closure of traumatic wounds in emergency services. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review of scientific articles published in the last ten years in English and Spanish, located in databases such as Lilacs, Scielo, Cochrane Plus, and Medline, which focused on the efficacy of delayed suturing for the closure of traumatic wounds in emergency services. 50% of the articles were from the United States, and 12.5% were from the Netherlands, Germany, China, and Colombia, respectively. Results: 100% of the reviewed articles demonstrate the efficacy of delayed suturing for traumatic wound closure. They affirm that the existing evidence does not support the existence of an "optimal" time for primary closure of traumatic wounds, suggesting that these can be sutured regardless of the time elapsed since the injury. Conclusion: The evidence shows that in daily practice, traumatic wounds are sutured regardless of the time elapsed. With proper debridement, wound care, and control during the first 72 hours, immediate, early, or primary suturing carries low risk, is comfortable for patients, and offers cost savings.
