The authors describe the method of closure of laparotomic wounds by means of an atraumatic continuous PDS loop suture. Based on evaluation of a group of 166 patients they appreciate the positive aspects of the technique of this suture, in particular the speed, easy implementation and safe closure of laparotomy. As regard the sewing material, they value highly the quality of atraumatic fibres which are firm and do not irritate the tissues.
