Summary

This study compares two common methods of closing the skin after brain tumor surgery: a continuous stitch under the skin using absorbable thread versus separate stitches through the skin using non-absorbable thread. Researchers want to see which method leads to fewer wound problems like infection or opening. About 382 adults having surgery for a brain tumor will take part.
