Abstract
Four cases of suture-line ulceration associated with non-absorbable suture material are presented. In 2 of these cases the suture had been placed only in the seromuscular layer.
The diagnosis was made in each case by gastroscopy.
Excision of the complete suture line is the most satisfactory form of treatment.
