dc.description.abstractThe wounds of 809 consecutive thoracoplasty stages on 195 patients with pulmonary or pleural tuberculosis have been studied with relation to healing and the type of suture material used.Minor or major complications occurred in 13.7 per cent of the wounds. The incidence was 18.9 per cent in the catgut wounds and 7.0 per cent in the silk wounds. By excluding all wound complications of a minor character and not specifically due to wound infection, the incidence was 6.5 per cent in the catgut series and 1.8 per cent in the silk series.en_US
