Popis:	Pericostal stainless steel retention sutures employed in the closure of thoracotomies in dogs showed a high incidence of breakage. This led to various postoperative complications, three of which were fatal. The stress-corrosion phenomenon, i.e., the combination of tensile strain and biochemical corrosion, is considered responsible for the early rupture of the stainless steel sutures. The use of this material in thoracic surgery seems contraindicated.
