Palmar Skin

This prospective, randomized controlled trial assessed the use of staples for closure of the palmar skin following Dupuytren’s surgery. Although staples were significantly quicker to insert than sutures, patients experienced significantly more pain on removal of staples. There was no difference in the cosmetic appearance of the wound in the two groups. We recommend use of staples for palmar wound closure following long procedures.

The Aesthetic

Objective: To compare the aesthetic outcome of cervical lymph node excision skin closure between Steri-Strips closure and simple interrupted sutures using Nylon 6-0. Materials and Methods: The present study was a single-blinded randomized controlled trial of forty patients with cervical lymph node excision. They were randomized into two groups of twenty. The first group was allocated to close the skin by simple interrupted sutures with Nylon 6-0, the other group received the Steri-Strips for skin closure. Complications were observed at the first and second week. The aesthetic outcomes for skin closure were evaluated at 12 weeks postoperatively using the predetermined Sakka’s cosmetic assessment criteria and scoring system. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of gender, age, length of surgical wound, and pathology. The Steri-Strips group showed significantly lower Sakka’s aesthetic score compared to the 6-0 Nylon sutures group (6.25±0.85 and 7.75 ±1.33, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in aesthetic outcomes between genders. Moreover, the operative time of the Steri-Strips group was significantly less than that of the 6-0 Nylon sutures group (2.2±0.41 and 4.75±0.44 minutes, p<0.001). Conclusion: Skin closure with Steri-Strips gave better aesthetic outcomes compared to the 6-0 Nylon sutures (p<0.001). However, the aesthetic outcomes were assessed by physicians, so the patients’satisfaction could not be assessed. Keywords: Lymph node biopsy; Hypertrophic scar; Keloid; Cosmetic outcome; Steri-strip
