A technique for subcutaneous knot inversion following running subcuticular closures.
Standard methods of running subcuticular closures frequently leave the completion knot close to the epidermis, resulting in stitch abcesses and suture extrusion. A simple technique for the subcutaneous placement of completion knots following subcuticular sutures, resulting in fewer stitch abcesses, is described.
