Senior Member mmhce Posted August 20, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) I would like to find out, when staples are used for closing the excised strip, is the standard practice to install deep layer sutures prior to stapling, or, are staples applied unilaterally without deep layer suturing. Thank you all. Edited August 23, 2010 by mmhce take care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member waveskier Posted August 23, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2010 No deep layering with mine. I still amazed at how nice mine has healed. When I saw those sutures I couldn't see how that could even look clean, but they worked beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 mmhce, In most cases, surgeons who use staples only use the staples to seal the wound. In most cases, this does an adequate job in producing a minimal scar. However, some physicians have applied deep layer suturing in addition to the staples to minimize tension on the wound. This can be particularly beneficial for wounds closed under higher tension. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
