Journal Title: Journal of Surgery and Surgical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: There are an increasing number of wound closure materials and techniques types in skin surgery. Still now, there is much controversies about optimal procedure of wound closure. This study tries to achieve this goal. Material and Methods: This study was included 37 patients suffering from skin wounds of variable size and sites. These wounds were closed by using double tips needle from under the skin without any sutures or adhesives on skin surface. The follow up period ranged from 3 to 19 months. Results: The mean age was 43 years. The wounds lengths ranged from 5 to 15 cm. and wound sites (17 at face and neck, 5 at abdominal wall, 15 upper extremities). The both edges of wound were put in contact to each other by our technique without any skin sutures, this allow for seroma or any wound discharge to come out which happen in 15 cases. The all wounds healed with linear and cosmetic scar, and no wound complication during follow up period. Conclusion: Our technique is effective, associated with good results in skin wound closure, and has short learning curve.
