Stitch showdown: do dissolvable or Non-Dissolvable sutures heal hand cuts better?

This study looked at whether dissolvable stitches (chromic gut) or non-dissolvable stitches (nylon) work better for hand and forearm cuts treated in the emergency room. Six adults with such cuts were followed for 12 weeks to compare scar healing and pain. The goal was to see which type leads to better healing and fewer complications.
