1 Hiroshi Matsumoto, MD Yoshihiro Kimata, MD, PhD Seiji Komatsu, MD, PhD Kumiko Matsumoto, MD Min Zaw Aung, MBBS, MMedSc (Surgery) Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Science University of Okayama Okayama, Japan Sir: W performing dermal sutures, we aim to achieve a satisfactory postoperative scar from an aesthetic perspective and reduce surgical site infection and other postoperative complications.1–3 Although the usefulness of dermal sutures is widely recognized, some residents and general surgeons are still reluctant to use dermal sutures due to concerns regarding the time needed to master this unfamiliar technique. Therefore, we designed a plotting dermal suture (PDS) method, which can be easily applied to appropriately perform dermal suturing. With this technique, we believe that even inexperienced surgeons can make dermal sutures in a quick and easy manner.

The absorbable dermal staple device: a faster, more cost-effective method for incisional closure.
BACKGROUND Closure with dermal sutures is time consuming, may increase the risks of inflammation and infection secondary to foreign body reaction, exposes the surgeon to possible needlestick injuries, and has variable cosmetic outcomes depending on each surgeon's technique. The absorbable INSORB dermal stapler is hypothesized to be faster and more cost effective than sutures for dermal layer cl...

Certain general principles regarding abdominoplasty have remained constant throughout the last century, although incision patterns, fascial repair, and fatty contour techniques have varied. What has remained constant has been the use of a layered closure technique for final wound approximation, including in most cases the closure of Scarpa’s fascia, popularized by the work of Lockwood.1 Controv...

BACKGROUND Surgical repair of the superficial fascial system (SFS) has been claimed to both increase wound strength and enhance surgical outcome through anchoring of deeper tissues. OBJECTIVE The authors assessed the biomechanical properties of the SFS to determine whether repair of the SFS layer improved early and long-term postoperative wound strength. METHODS Four complementary studies w...
