    Polish Surgeons Innovate with Skin Adhesives Instead of Stitches After Surgery

    Polish surgeons reduce infection risks and improve recovery using skin adhesives instead of stitches in joint surgeries.

    Polish surgeons are pioneering a new approach in joint replacement surgery by replacing traditional stitches with skin adhesives and polymer mesh. This method not only improves patient outcomes but also reduces the risk of postoperative infections.

    Reduced Infection Risks and Faster Healing

    Dr. Bogdan Naszkiewicz, an orthopedic trauma specialist, explains that using stitchless closure combined with antibacterial-coated threads and skin adhesive creates a strong barrier against infections. The elimination of drainage and minimal skin punctures further protect the surgical site.

    Patients experience faster healing and superior cosmetic results, as the adhesive prevents extra scarring. Additionally, patients can resume showering soon after surgery and avoid follow-up visits for stitch removal. This innovative approach allows for same-day discharge, significantly reducing hospital stay and infection risks.By employing these advanced techniques, Polish surgeons offer more comfortable and quicker recovery options, particularly for joint replacement surgeries, setting a new standard in postoperative care.
