The interrupted suture is the most commonly used technique in wound closure. The surgical suture is used to hold body tissues together after injury or surgery. Since a relatively large amount of suture material will be left in the superficial dermis, if absorbable material is used then utilizing a nonbraided monofilament suture may be best to minimize the risk of infection and foreign body reaction. This suture technique uses several strands of suture material to close the wound. Interrupted sutures significantly reduced occurrence of wound dehiscence and evisceration, this reduced the need for urgent revision surgery and development of incisional hernia. 121(3):102e-108e.

Advantages of the simple running suture over simple interrupted sutures include quicker placement and more rapid reapproximation of wound edges. Dermatol Surg. An interrupted suture is a technique used to close open wounds.It is called an interrupted suture because the sutures are placed separately or independent of one another. [3]. Two methods for subcuticular suture are used: running or interrupted sutures. Dermatol Surg. [Medline]. Wounds in the SIPS group were closed using 4 interrupted percutaneous sutures, whereas wounds in the IRS group were closed by intradermal running suture.

Most wound breakdowns occurred in two trials that used absorbable sutures for continuous suturing and non-absorbable sutures for interrupted suturing. A subcutaneous corset plication rapidly and effectively relieves tension on large linear closures. The most commonly used and most versatile suture in cutaneous surgery is the simple interrupted suture. [Medline]. post midline laparotomy patients, using Interrupted X suture vs. 2011 Oct. 37(10):1503-5. Obtain a suture removal kit. An interrupted suture is performed, but only the free suture end is cut before the needle is reintroduced and directed diagonally across the wound to exit the skin on the other side. In our study 120 patients were divided in two groups to evaluate the effect of two different suture techniques. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg. Am J Emerg Med. This technique should almost never be employed in the absence of a deep dermal suture, since its strength is in fine-tuning epidermal approximation and it is less effective in the presence of significant tension. Within the propensity score-matched cohort, there were no differences in sustained complete heart block and need for pacemaker, 4 (3.8%) for running technique vs 3 (2.9%) for interrupted technique (p = 0.307). 5-6, pp. A 2019 study suggested that high-density suture spacing (approximately 5 mm apart) could improve early scar formation, but noted that placing sutures farther apart (approximately 10 mm) results in fewer puncture wounds, decreases tissue trauma, saves surgical time, and conserves suture material.

Non-absorbable sutures are removed seven to nine days after surgery, but absorbable sutures are not removed, and so support the wound for longer - which may account for the difference in distribution of this problem between groups. The risk of crosshatching can be minimized by removing sutures early to prevent the development of suture tracks. [Medline]. three interrupted sutures were found more advantageous than five-bite continuous sutures. This will give the appearance of a single simple interrupted suture at the midpoint in the wound. Interrupted sutures are placed inidividually and each has its own knots. running or interrupted sutures. Incidence of hypertrophic and keloid scars after N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive had been used to close parotidectomy wounds: a prospective study of 100 consecutive patients. In the end, the stitch is secured by tying a knot after the last pass. [Medline]. One explanation for our opinion is that we found that the rate of intraoperative extravasation was lower in the running suture group (8.1%) than in the interrupted suture group (24.0%, p=0.01). 31(3):356-8. 2019 Feb. 45 (2):216-222.

Assessment of knot security in continuous intradermal wound closures. Patients' health‐related quality of life was assessed using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite in 56 patients (28 patients in each group). Midway through the closure, the suture is intentionally looped in to the deep dermis and then out of the epidermis before continuing the running subcuticular suturing. 2007 Oct. 33(10):1277-9. 2012 Sep. 38(9):1560-2.

Frequency of use of suturing and repair techniques preferred by dermatologic surgeons. Eight VCDs occurred: one (1.3 %) after transvaginal interrupted closure, three (3.3 %) after laparoscopic interrupted suturing and four (2.4 %) after a laparoscopic running suture was used (p0.707). (A) Needle holder of appropriate size for needle. With regard to the incidence of VCD, based on Suturing techniques range from the use of multiple interrupted sutures to double running sutures and to combinations of running and interrupted sutures. The most commonly used and most versatile suture in cutaneous surgery is the simple interrupted suture. Faulkner BC, Gear AJ, Hellewell TB, Mazzarese PM, Watkins FH, Edlich RF. (B) Conventional cutting needle. Again, it is important to grasp the skin and evert it slightly using a fine toothed forcep, and the needle holder is rotated into a pronated position in preparation for piercing the skin. The pad‐free rate was significantly higher in the vesicourethral anastomosis using running suture group at 1 month after surgery (20.7% vs 3.3%, P = 0.0463); however, there was no significant difference at 3 months and beyond.

Abstract Objectives: To determine the feasibility of vesicourethral anastomosis using running suture during retropubic radical prostatectomy and to compare the surgical outcomes of vesicourethral anastomosis using running suture with those of the standard interrupted suture technique.

With all techniques, it is first necessary to place four initial interrupted sutures so as to achieve fixation. If nonabsorbable suture is used, it is best to utilize a monofilament suture material to minimize the coefficient of friction when removing the suture. Methods: The running-to-interrupted microsuture technique, a modification of the previously published spiral anastomosis, is described wherein loosely thrown running sutures are placed between 2 opposed anchor stitches. Furthermore, it offers better outcomes than the conventional standard interrupted suture technique, with a higher likelihood of improvement in patients' health‐related quality of life.

Running suture is more time-saving, but it might be difficult to get precise wound approximation. Growth potential of U-clip interrupted versus polypropylene running suture anastomosis in congenital cardiac surgery: intermediate term results. Disadvantages include possible crosshatching, the risk of dehiscence if the suture material ruptures, difficulty in making fine adjustments along the suture line, and puckering of the suture line when the stitches are placed in thin skin. Running suture for vesicourethral anastomosis is feasible during retropubic radical prostatectomy. Semin Dermatol. 2:CD011757. Simple interrupted suturing is still a preferred technique when you want the most meticulous repair, but when dealing with less cosmetic areas, I like this technique as it is involves less knot tying and gets the job done a lot faster without sacrificing much in terms of wound appearance.
