Materials and Methods: This study is qualitative, the design is a systematic review, with a population consisting of 20 articles and 10 articles were considered for the study sample; the instrument was Cochrane Library, British Medical Journal, PubMed, Lancet, Wiley Online Library, Health Systems Evidence, Public Health Group, Scielo and Epistemonikos; taking into account the critical evaluation under the GRADE method for each article. Results: 10 scientific articles were analyzed, of which 30% correspond to the United Kingdom and 30% to China, 20% are from the USA and 10% each corresponding to Sweden and Pakistan. In relation to the designs and types of studies, 40% correspond to a Clinical Trial, 30% to a systematic review and 30% to a meta-analysis. Conclusions: This systematic review concludes that 50% of studies show that the use of absorbable sutures are more effective for closing surgical incisions, unlike 30% that did not show any advantage between them and only 20% showed that Nonabsorbable sutures are more effective.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-02-17) Bernabel Rodriguez, Karem Yesenia; Zúñiga Concha, Lourdes Dominga; Calsin Pacompia, Wilmer
Objective: To analyze the evidence on the effectiveness of polyhexanide/betaine in the management of chronic wound bed preparation. Materials and Methods: Systematic and Quantitative Review. Thirty articles were found, leaving nine scientific articles from the scientific search system in: Scielo, Pubmed, Google academic, EBSCO, Cochrane Library and Medline. The GRADE method was used to evaluate the articles, which specified the strength of recommendation and quality of evidence for each study. Results: 100% of them affirm that it is effective in the management of wounds, 40% say that it is a good debridement and improves healing time and 60% affirm that it is a good cleaning agent, safe and well tolerated by the patient. patient versus other solutions. Conclusions: Polyhexanide/betaine is effective in the management of chronic wound bed preparation, since it reduces the bacterial load in complex wounds, acts as a good cleaning and debriding agent; In addition, the healing time is shorter due to the humid environment it provides, not to mention its safe use.
