The double purse-string suture technique effectively closes large skin defects, offering excellent cosmetic results without complications. This method is ideal for repairing round or oval defects after skin tumor removal.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatologic surgery
  • Surgical techniques

Background:

  • The purse-string suture is a standard method for repairing round or oval defects.
  • Complete closure of larger defects can be challenging with traditional purse-string techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel double purse-string suture technique.
  • To address difficulties in completely closing larger skin defects.

Main Methods:

  • The double purse-string technique was applied to 17 surgical defects post-skin tumor excision.
  • A midline interrupted suture was used to relieve tension.
  • Each defect was divided into two, with each half closed using a purse-string suture.

Main Results:

  • Complete closure was achieved in all 17 surgical defects.
