No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether undermining during cutaneous surgery improves scar cosmesis compared to wound closure without undermining.

Conditions

  • Wound Closure Techniques

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Wound Closure with Undermining

The side assigned to undermining will have undermining performed prior to wound closure in the subcutaneous plane. The amount of undermining will range from 1 cm for wounds with low tension to 2 cm for those with moderate tension. Since wound diameter will be 3 cm or less and exclude the scalp, high tension wounds are not anticipated.

PROCEDURE

Wound Closure without Undermining

One side of the wound will remain un-undermined.
