continuous subcuticular suturing

Continuous subcuticular suturing is a technique used by doctors to close a wound just beneath the skin’s surface. Instead of placing multiple individual stitches, the surgeon uses a single, continuous thread to sew the wound edges together in a smooth, even line. This method helps to reduce scarring and provides a neat appearance. It’s commonly used for cosmetic reasons or when the goal is to achieve a clean, tight closure that promotes better healing. The stitch stays under the skin and is often removed after healing, resulting in less visible scarring on the surface.
