Abstract
In a randomized prospective trial of three methods of skin suture an increased incidence of hypertrophic scarring in paramedian and inguinal wounds has been found to be associated with the use of 2/0 Dexon suture subcuticularly. However, the variance associated with the type of suture was less than that associated with the sex of the patient. The patient's opinion of the appearance of the scar was the same for all three suture methods used in skin closure.
