【 摘 要 】

PURPOSE: To report two new suture techniques for best esthetic skin healing. METHODS: Using the pig skin slices routinely employed for surgical technique training two new types of skin sutures were performed. One defined as inverted or hidden X point suture and other as totally hidden intradermal running suture. The first were performed using 4-0 polypropilene stitch and the intradermal with 4-0 poliglicolic stitch. RESULTS: It was confirmed good skin layers union and contention with best esthetic result than observed with the traditional X and intradermal suture techniques. CONCLUSION: Macroscopic examination of the hidden X point and totally hidden intra-dermal sutures and centrifuge skin traction confirmed good skin layers union and contention with best esthetic result than observed with the traditional X and intradermal sutures techniques.
