“…Its use is also predicated on the presence of a relatively robust dermis, since it is a primarily intradermal technique and therefore does not recruit any strength from the epidermis. [7,8] As one of the benefit is to this approach is to permit the suture to remain in place or many weeks or months, it also means that removal of long-standing suture entails a theoretical risk that a potential space-albeit a thin and long one-is created on the removal of the suture material. [9] If nonabsorbable suture material is used, care should be taken to account or the eventual necessity of suture removal.…”

The use of non-absorbable sutures rather than embedded absorbable sutures in running subcuticular technique is preferable. The reasoning is that buried knot placement and embedded suture material under the skin increases the risk of granuloma formation, ugly scarring, and infection. Removal of the suture material reduces these risks. The new modified technique adopted for easily removed of non-absorbable monofilament using in long, curved and zigzag running subcuticular suturing by put interrupted rubber or plastic tube in the special technique that helps to get easily removed sutures with wonderful, scarless, best cosmetic suture line. Technical considerations go into placing these multiple pieces of tubes along the sutures line in an easy-to-remove manner.

“…Many techniques have been described in the literature to approximate large, lengthy wounds, with subcuticular suturing giving the best cosmetically attractive scar in the immediate post-operative phase as well as a good longterm scar outcome [3][4][5][6][7]. However, it can come with the disadvantage of wound dehiscence in the circumstance of lengthy wounds [4].…”

The key to obtaining an aesthetically pleasing scar is to achieve sound and secure wound apposition with minimal tension across the sutured wound. In lengthy wounds, secure wound apposition using the subcuticlar approach may be challenging, and wound breakdown in the post-operative phase is not an uncommon complication. To provide a solution to this problem, we describe a simple and practical suturing technique that approximates the wound effectively and in a secure manner to produce greater tensile strength without compromising the ideals of achieving a cosmetically pleasing scar. The authors have observed a significantly improved cosmetic result using this approach. This technique offers a consistent, simple and quick solution to closing wounds securely with an excellent cosmetic result.
