Subcutaneous Skin Closure: Technique with Literature Review

Dr. Yogeshvelani

Abstract :

Wound closure techniques have evolved from the earliest development of suturingmaterials to comprise resources that include synthetic sutures, absorbable, staples, tapes, and adhesive compounds.Aesthetic closure is based on knowledge of healing mechanisms and skin anatomyas well as an appreciation of suture material and closure technique. The subcutaneous tissue also called the hypodermis, hypoderm, subcutis, or superficial fascia, is the lowermost layer of the integumentary system inverteates. Removal of subcutaneous tumors or masses results in a hollow defect. The ideal approach to closure is one which respects aesthetic boundaries, achieves closure under minimal tension, causes the least alteration in tissue planes, and yields the most favorable results with the fewest complications. The subcutaneous loop is an easily performed and reproduced technique, which prevents the feared consequences of dead space that result from deep skin defects. It yields the benefits of reduced suture cost, and has both a functional and aesthetically pleasing result.
