[Experience with new skin sutures: synthetic, resorbable material].
A new combined technique of the excision of small and large skin tumors and of exploratory excisions is reported. Besides of the semilunar incision and the modified subcutaneous lambloid decompressing suture already formerly described, the new application consists of continuous intracutaneous suture with submerged ends. The combined method is only practicable because of the high tensile strength of the synthetic absorbable suture material Dexon. Dexon seems to be superior to all other absorbable filaments, e.g. catgut. Healing of scars is very promising with the mentioned method and the new suture material.
