The following combinations of key words were searched: skin closure, **wound closure**, suture technique, sutureless, adhesive tape, op-site, staples, subcuticular suture, complication, infection and scars.

The use of the continuous absorbable subcuticular suture allows accurate **skin edge approximation**, which increases the safety margin......



METHODS: The technique involves a combination of vigorous wound toilette, the judicious use of sutures and tissue expansion produced by the application of specially designed external tissue expanders. Gradual **approximation of the wound edges** is achieved and final suture allows closure by full thickness skin and subcutaneous tissue. RESULTS:.....
