Cheesewiring

In medicine the term cheesewiring or cheesewire effect describes any process in which cells or intercellular matrix are dissected or extruded either by the material being pressed through a taut element, or by the tension of a taut element pulling through tissue.

Cheesewiring can be a complication or part of a negative outcome of a procedure. Examples include tumor growth penetrating the openings in a bowel stent that was placed to open an obstructed bowel,[1] sutures used to hold a transplanted cornea in place cutting through the cornea,[2] and treatment of tendon rupture, when sutures pull through the tendon.[3]

The term can also be used for to name the process of using a guidewire or suture intentionally to cut through tissue during a surgical procedure or allowing a suture to slowly cut through tissue over time.[4][5][6] Treatment of fistulas often involves placing a suture and allowing it to cut off the fistula over time.[7]
