Modified subcutaneous buried horizontal mattress suture compared with a vertical buried mattress
suture

Background:
Wound tension reduction is still a challenge to surgeons. Over the years, many techniques have been proposed
to avoid this issue. In this paper, we present a new suture technique.
Objectives:
To investigate the tension-reduction effectiveness of the modified subcutaneous buried horizontal mattress suture
compared with the vertical buried mattress suture technique.
Methods:
Two suture techniques, the vertical buried mattress suture (group A) and the modified subcutaneous buried
horizontal mattress suture (group B), were performed on paired samples of symmetrical skin flaps. An equal pulling force
was applied to each paired sutured flap, and the dehiscences of the samples in the two groups were compared. Then, after the
periodic mechanical pulling force was recorded, the dehiscences were compared again.
Results:
The dehiscences of the vertical buried mattress suture samples (group A) were much wider Than their corresponding
samples. Modified subcutaneous buried horizontal mattress suture samples (group B) remained well closed with no or minimal
dehiscence, under various situations.
Biography
Fanjun Meng has his expertise in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The Modified Subcutaneous Buried Horizontal Mattress Suture he proposed in the paper is
a new technique to close the tensioned wound. In vitro study and clinic practice, it is proved to be an efficient technique to reduce the tension of the wound and to
prevent scarring postoperation of the large skin lesion excision.
