Stitch showdown: which scalp closure heals best after brain tumor surgery?
NCT ID NCT07413796
First seen Feb 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 15 times
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.
