A novel surgical technique: placement of the suture lateral to the punch biopsy defect. Surg Innov. Sutures (or stitches) are typically applied using a needle with an attached piece of thread and are secured with surgical knots. Ab interno corneoscleral incisions were closed with 8/0 virgin silk suture material by three interrupted sutures in 42 cases and by five-bite continuous sutures in 44 cases.

The effect of stitch type on flap tip blood flow. 14(5):359-68. Barbed suture for gastrointestinal closure: a randomized control trial. Despite increasing emphasis on evidence-based practice, there have been exceedingly few clinical trials specifically comparing the healing outcomes associated with different closure techniques. The loops are then serially cut and tied, resulting in efficiently placed interrupted stitches. Assess the wound for complete healing prior to removal of sutures. View the article PDF and any associated supplements and figures for a period of 48 hours. Advantages of the simple running suture over simple interrupted sutures include quicker placement and more rapid reapproximation of wound edges. An interrupted suture is a technique used to close open wounds.It is called an interrupted suture because the sutures are placed separately or independent of one another. The start and finish of the suture can be performed in any fashion. Alam M, Goldberg LH. Dermatol Surg. Am J Emerg Med. OBJECTIVE: To compare the cosmetic results 12 months after treatment and complications associated with simple interrupted sutures (SIS) versus running subcuticular sutures (RSS) in facial surgery. Interrupted sutures involve the full thickness of the skin and are usually non-absorbable (but not always). Berdat PA(1), Lavanchy JL, Schönhoff F, Pavlovic M, Pfammatter JP, Carrel TP.

J Long Term Eff Med Implants. Rodeheaver GT, Nesbit WS, Edlich RF. [Medline]. [Medline]. This technique should almost never be employed in the absence of a deep dermal suture, since its strength is in fine-tuning epidermal approximation and it is less effective in the presence of significant tension.

Subsequent suturing may consist of the placement of 12 additional interrupted sutures, four or eight additional interrupted sutures, a running suture, or a double running suture with removal of the interrupted sutures. The wound should be free from redness, discharge or other signs of infection. Yag-Howard C. Zipper stitch: a novel aesthetic subcutaneous closure. Simple running sutures may be placed with the goal of (1) accomplishing epidermal approximation in a wound under mild to moderate tension, such as a laceration, or, more frequently, (2) fine-tuning the epidermal approximation of a wound where the tension has already been shifted deep utilizing a deeper dermal or fascial suturing technique. Stoecker A, Blattner CM, Howerter S, Fancher W, Young J, Lear W. Effect of Simple Interrupted Suture Spacing on Aesthetic and Functional Outcomes of Skin Closures. An interrupted suture is performed, but only the free suture end is cut before the needle is reintroduced and directed diagonally across the wound to exit the skin on the other side. Dermatol Surg. Within the propensity score-matched cohort, there were no differences in sustained complete heart block and need for pacemaker, 4 (3.8%) for running technique vs 3 (2.9%) for interrupted technique (p = 0.307).
