A Study of Scars with Relevance to Different types of Buried Sutures. A Project Report

      Аннотация: Scars in whatever part of the body they may be, are always considered as a stigma. Scarring after surgical procedures or injuries have long been difficult problem from functional as well as an aesthetic standpoint. Any surgical intervention will result in a wound in order to get access to and deal with underlying pathology. The principle aims of tissue repair are rapid acquisition of strength and minimum tissue damage, with minimum inflammation and a good scar. Many factors including the choice of suture materials and its placement influence these aims; of particular relevance is the accurate co-optation of dermal edges; eversion or inversion leads to sub-optimal healing. For many years sutures have been used to approximate the skin edges, and also to cut tissues together until the wound has healed sufficient enough as to be sufficient enough as to be self supportive. Every surgeon tries to use the best suture material for the patient in given circumstances. Suture choice is based on personal experiences, manufacturer’s advice and scientific observation.
