Retrospective observational cohort study on cosmetic outcome of using Ti‑Ni memory alloy wire for intradermal suture following mastectomy in patients with breast cancer

Abstract: Abstract. The method of suturing for incisions is crucial for the comprehensive treatment of clinical patients with breast cancer. Suturing is considered a major part of post-surgical recovery and may serve as a marker for evaluation of surgical outcome. The present study aimed to establish an effective means of suturing for patients who received modified radical surgery that helps to improve the cosmetic outcome of the incision.
