Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Purse-String
Surgical wounds are healed via suturing.
Purse-String
The wound will be closed using one, long, continuous suture which will enter and exit run through the skin along the inner edge of the wound. The start and stopping point will be adjacent to one another. The suture will then be pulled" on either side to essentially cinch down the wound, decreasing the size of the wound.
Second Intent
The wound will not be sutured, and allowed to heal on its own.
Second Intent
Surgical wounds are allowed to heal without sutures.
Purse-String
