Fascial plication suture

Fascial plication suture

This technique is designed for wounds under marked tension, especially those on the back and shoulders. It can also be used for facial repairs, where grasping the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) with this deep suture technique leads to a dramatic reduction in wound size. It is a deep technique, permitting the tension of wound closure to shift from the dermis to the fascia, and concomitantly creating a lower-tension closure. In addition to tension reduction, this approach also leads to an increase in the apparent length-to-width ratio of a fusiform closure and improved dead-space minimization (Fig. 13-10).
