Skin closure using continuous nylon sutures was compared with closure using interrupted nylon sutures in 105 consecutive patients undergoing laparotomy. Particular note was made of wound healing and wound infection. The incidence of wound infection was similar (3.9 per cent and 3.7 per cent respectively) and all wounds healed satisfactorily. The continuous method was quicker and cheaper.
