Looped, Broad, and Deep Buried Suturing Technique for Wound Closure

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study explores the clinical application of the circular wide and deep (looped, broad, and deep buried, LBD) suture technique for scar resection and examines its clinical effectiveness for scar treatment. From June 2017 to March 2019, a total of 68 patients with scars were sutured using LBD technique, and recovery was achieved 24 months postoperatively. In all 68 patients, postoperative scars were slightly evident in two cases of cervical scar, one case of leg scar, and one case of chest scar. In addition, the remaining 62 patients were completely satisfied with the outcome. The LBD suturing technique could provide sustained and stable tension-reducing effects postoperatively and significantly improve scar formation in patients. This method is most applicable to incisions with tension. Therefore, it should be more widely used for clinical scar treatment.
