First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special locking stitch reduces scarring better than the standard stitch used to close surgical wounds on the head or neck. Half of each wound will get one stitch type, and the other half the other, so doctors can directly compare the scars. About 50 adults having skin surgery will take part, and their scars will be evaluated by both doctors and patients months later.
