As part of a larger study to determine which factors are important in fallopian tube reconstruction, 9-0 monofilament polyglycolic acid suture on a 145 micron-needle was used for rabbit oviduct microsurgical anastomosis. A 100% pregnancy rate in five rabbits with no disruption of the endosalpingial or muscular layers was noted. Of special note, the suture was totally resorbed, and no suture residuum or surrounging reaction was noted. The suture material appears to fulfill the criteria for an ideal suture described at the beginning of the paper. This is the first report of the use of a 9-0 monofilament polyglycolic acid suture.
