Stitch showdown: which leaves a better scar after hand surgery?
NCT ID NCT05503719
Summary
This study compares two common types of stitches used to close the skin after carpal tunnel release surgery. Researchers want to know if absorbable stitches (which dissolve on their own) or non-absorbable stitches (which need to be removed) lead to a better-looking scar and less pain for patients. About 116 people who had the surgery will rate their scar's appearance and any pain one year later.
