The Effect of Wound Edge Eversion on Cosmesis

NCT00872638 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2015-06-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Aesthetic appearance of repaired incisions is very important to surgical patients. It has been stated that if the edges of a wound are closed in such a manner that will result in eversion, or pouting of the edges that the end cosmetic result will be superior when compared to wound edges that are simply approximated. The purpose of this study is to compare cosmetic outcomes of incisions that are closed with everted edges to those in which the edges are simply approximated.

PROCEDURE

Eversion

Surgical incisions will be closed in such a manner so as to evert the wound edges.
