It is an important area of investigation the choice of an adequate substance for the fixation of silicon prosthesis without generating a lot of fibrotic tissue reaction. We have studied the tissue reaction after the implantation of silicon prosthesis with polyglactin 910 threads. Silicon grids measuring 1,5 x 1,5cm and thickness of 0,7mm were implanted under the subcutaneous tissue of rats. The animals were studied 30, 60 and 90 days after implantation. Then they were sacrificed. The grids and the adjacent tissue were excised. The time did not interfere with the number of colagen fibers in sub-groups. Quantity of colagen fibers were not different amoung the sub-groups of 30, 60 and 90 days. With or without poliglactin 910. In the group of pure silicon grids we have found a significant difference among the reticular fibers. The great number was observed in the 30 and 60 days groups if compared with the group of 90 days. The polyglactin 910 with the silicon grid not change the amount of connective tissue fibers in the grid¢s fenestrations.
