Abstract

Suturing is the joining of tissues with needle and thread so that the tissues will bind together and that healing occurs by primary intention with least scarring. Professionals like tailor and cobbler are also involved with suturing. Although both professions are involved with suturing, they are not dealing with live tissue, so there are no problems like poor healing, ischemia and wound edge necrosis. These complications, which are common with live tissue, may finally lead to wound dehiscence and increased risk of surgical site infection, and ugly scar. Every surgeon should be cognizant of principles of wound healing and aesthetics.
