Abstract:
Standard methods of running subcuticular closures frequently leave the completion knot close to the epidermis, resulting in stitch abcesses and suture extrusion. A simple technique for the subcutaneous placement of completion knots following subcuticular sutures, resulting in fewer stitch abcesses, is described.
