Undermining During Cutaneous Wound Closure

Wound Closure Techniques Clinical Trial

Official title:
Undermining During Cutaneous Wound Closure: a Randomized Split Wound Comparative Effectiveness Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether undermining during cutaneous surgery improves scar cosmesis compared to wound closure without undermining.

Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether undermining during cutaneous surgery improves scar cosmesis compared to wound closure without undermining. Our aims are to compare outcomes using a split wound model, where half the wound is undermined and the other half is not. This will be measured via the physician observer scar assessment scale, a validated scar instrument and via wound width. Our hypothesis is that wound undermining will result in cosmetically superior wound outcomes. ;
