Buried purse-string suture
Buried purse-string suture
This technique is designed to either shrink the size of a defect or obviate it entirely, depending on the degree of tension and the size of the defect. The purse-string effect tends to lead to a slight puckering in the surrounding skin, a feature that may be acceptable (and will likely resolve with time) on areas such as the forearms and back, but is less desirable in cosmetically sensitive locations such as the face. The running nature of the technique means that compromise at any point in the course of suture placement may result in wound dehiscence, though for this reason a larger gauge suture material is generally utilized (Fig. 13-11).
