First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if using stitches that dissolve (absorbable) or stitches that need removal (non-absorbable) leads to better scar appearance and patient satisfaction after carpal tunnel or trigger finger surgery. It was planned for adults having these common hand surgeries. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
