Abstract :

BACKGROUND: To determine the effect of wound healing and complications of suturing vs non–suturing of subcutaneous tissue during wound closure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Study included 100 patients who underwent elective surgical procedures with monitoring of wound healing in the post–operative period. RESULTS: In our study, we have derived that the subcutaneous suturing during the closure of surgical wounds does not play a vital role in the healing of the surgical site. Subcutaneous suturing has been shown to produce an increased frequency of postoperative complications in the surgical site. CONCLUSION: Subcutaneous suturing does not play a pivotal role in the healing of the surgical wound. Subcutaneous suturing can be forgone, which will not cause an increase in postoperative complications in the surgical site.
