There are, therefore, great disagreements regarding the safest type of suture to be used in this type of surgery. The present work aims, through bibliographic review, to discuss the types of sutures available that can be used in these techniques so that the small animal surgeon can have options and choose among them, those that best adapt to each patient and pathology .Acesso AbertoMedicina VeterináriaCicatrizaçãoSuturasCirurgiaCNPQ::CIENCIAS AGRARIASArtigo de Evento
